Build evidence that you have done your own work as you complete projects, papers, etc. Document your process!
Remember that AI tools can hallucinate ("make up stuff") so you must fact check everything. These tools do not necessarily know the difference between fact and fiction.
Cross-reference AI output with reliable sources such as your textbook, or scholarly articles, reference books, etc. that you access through the Library's research databases.
Use the right AI tool for a task. Find out what AI tool is preferred by the instructor and what AI tools are provided by the school.
Investigate AI tools carefully before using them (read reviews, FAQs, Terms, etc.).
How to Document Your Process
Do not type an essay directly into a writing assistant tool such as Grammarly. Use MS Word (via OneDrive or Sharepoint) or Google Docs so that you can show the progression of your work. These include a Version History option that will track changes and updates to a document.
Keep detailed lists of articles, books, library databases, or websites that you have read or consulted, that are related to your project.
Save the prompts you use and any output generated by AI. This should include prompts asking it to suggest topic ideas, database keyword searches, etc.
