Before using GenAI, you should ensure that:

• You know whether or not it is permitted (or required) for your assignment or research.
• You understand the limitations and risks of using GenAI.
• Your assignment/research remains your own work.

GenAI can be a useful starting point to gather background information on a topic, but be aware that:

• GenAI produces information that may be inaccurate, biased, or outdated.
• GenAI is not an original source of information: it reproduces information from sources which are often unidentified.
• GenAI may fabricate quotations and citations. DO NOT TRUST ANY REFERENCES IT GIVES YOU WITHOUT CHECKING!
• It is always best to refer to original and credible sources of information.

If you do choose to use GenAI tools, you must always:

• Critically evaluate any output it produces.
• Carefully check any quotations or citations it creates.
• Correctly document your use of the tools so that it can be appropriately acknowledged.

• Retain drafts of your work so you can evidence your process.
