Welcome to the Library Subject Guide for Generative Artificial Intelligence

The content on this guide in using AI is in line with the University's guidelines.

Quick tips:

• Do not over-rely on AI; Relying too much on AI can hinder your ability to think critically and your writing style.
• Avoid copying and pasting AI-generated content directly into your work.
• Ensure AI-generated text reflects your voice and intent. Add personal insights and rewrite as needed.
• You must acknowledge the use of AI in assignments and research.
• Best practice: include a screenshot of the AI output in Appendix, as it is a non-recoverable source.
• Refer to university guidelines and citation examples for proper formatting.
• To avoid plagiarism cite your sources: Attribute ideas and content appropriately using the correct referencing style.
• AI-generated content may contain errors; always fact-check using reliable sources.
