Acknowledge AI assistance in any work

Just like any resource, students must acknowledge when and how they use AI.
With Flint, students can cite their chats by clicking the quotation mark:
More on how to format citations for AI, see the AI use page on the Research @ AISL site.
Use AI as a learning tool, not a shortcut
Use AI as a learning tool, not a shortcut
AI tools like Flint are designed to support and extend student thinking, not bypass it. You can use AI to ask questions, gather feedback, and deepen understanding. Using AI should enhance learning and critical thinking, not undermine it.
Maintain academic integrity
Maintain academic integrity
Plagiarism and misrepresentation can occur when students submit AI-generated content as their own. Academic integrity still applies when working with AI. What you submit must reflect your own thinking, and AI use should never be hidden or deceptive.
Be transparent about AI usage
Be transparent about AI usage
Transparency is key to building trust in academic environments. You should be comfortable discussing how you used AI in their work, what kind of help you received, and how you applied it. Teachers should ask for attribution statements in which you describe your process, and you must save drafts and AI transcripts to verify this process if requested.
Where does AI Fit In for the PP?

Discuss with your Mentor how you may use AI tools for your Product and your Report.
For the written Report, you should look at the AI Assessment Spectrum (below) and stay in AI Planning.
This means that you can use AI to:
✅ point you to sources
✅ outline or organize
✅ plan
✅ ideate
✅ create examples
You then need to critique and fact-check the output, and develop and refine it using your own critical thinking. You also need to keep a copy of your AI chat transcripts in a tab in your journal or within Flint and write an acknowledgement statement at the end of your Report.
You may not use AI to:
❌ develop your original Product or Learning Goals (use your Mentor for this)
❌ translate your report
❌ edit or give you feedback on your report
❌ rewrite your report
❌ generate reflections
For developing your Product, you may be able to use Full AI or even AI Exploration. It just depends on your Product. Your Mentor can guide you about what is appropriate.
For further advice/help, see your Mentor. See also AI Scenarios by the IBO.
