WARNING: Use of AI

Statement from the IB:

• "The IB believes that artificial intelligence (AI) technology will become part of our everyday lives—like spell checkers, translation software and calculators. We, therefore, need to adapt and transform our educational programmes and assessment practices so that students can use these new AI tools ethically and effectively. The IB is not going to ban the use of such software but will work with schools to help them support their students on how to use these tools ethically in line with our principles of academic integrity. 

• Students should be aware that the IB does not regard any work produced—even only in part—by such tools, to be their own. Therefore, as with any quote or material from another source, it must be clear that AI-generated text, image or graph included in a piece of work, has been copied from such software. The software must be credited in the body of the text and appropriately referenced in the bibliography. As with current practice, an essay which is predominantly quotes will not get many, if any, marks with an IB mark scheme."

Trinity IB Honor Code & Ms. Naihe's Tips:

• Click HERE to refer to the official Trinity IB Honor Code

• AVOID GRAMMARLY OR SIMILAR AI TOOLS

  • Turn off the Chrome extension/tool when writing and revising your draft.

  • It WILL flag as AI. If you use it, per the IB's policy, you much cite it each time you use it for revision. Otherwise, you will fail your EE.

  • Look at the criterion in the EE Rubric. Are they any criterion on grammar? NO! So, it's better to rely on your own writing style and participate in revising and editing sessions in the summer/fall trimester.
