Citing AI

How to Cite AI Tools-

Ideas and words taken from sources must be cited. If it isn't your original thought or common knowledge, cite where you found it.

If a professor allows and requires you to use AI as a source, clearly mark content and ideas generated by the AI and cite it appropriately. Not acknowledging and citing it is plagiarism.

APA citations should indicate the AI tool as an author, the date of use, how it was used, and the tool's URL. For example, content provided by ChatGPT could be cited this way:

  • In-text citation: (ChatGPT, 2023)
  • References list citation: ChatGPT. (2023, January 18). How do you cite an answer in ChatGPT? [Response to user question]. Retrieved from https://chat.openai.com/
