Disclosure depends on the course, school, or assignment rule. If AI use is allowed, instructors may still require attribution or a statement of use.
Where AI use is permitted, disclosure usually takes one of these forms:

- A citation of the AI tool, in the format your course requires
- A short methods note describing how AI was used
Follow the exact format your instructor or department requires.
