Principles for responsible AI use
Treat AI as an assistant
Academly can help you develop drafts, structure ideas and work with research material. You remain the author of your thesis and responsible for the final content.
Review generated material critically
Do not submit generated content without reading, checking and editing it. Make sure the final wording and argument reflect your own understanding.
Verify facts and sources
Check important claims, citations and supporting evidence against the original source material before using them in your thesis.
Follow your university rules
Universities and departments may have different requirements for AI-assisted work. Check the rules that apply to your program and thesis.
Disclose AI use when required
If your university, department or supervisor requires disclosure, document how AI tools were used in your research or writing process.
Keep your own academic judgment
Your research decisions, interpretation, analysis and conclusions should remain your own.
Important
AI policies differ between universities and can change over time. If the rules are unclear, check the current institutional guidance or ask your supervisor before relying on AI-assisted material in a submission.
