Use of Artificial intelligence (AI)-assisted Technology

Please disclose the use of generative artificial intelligence (GAI), generative pre-training transformer (GPT), or large language models (LLMs) to produce any portion of the draft final research report, including text, tables, videos, images, or figures. Include the name of the tool, version of the tool, the company, and company location for any tool(s) used. Describe how the tool was used and describe what content was generated.

A statement such as “The authors would like to acknowledge the use of [GAI/GPTs/LLM tool name, version, company, and location] for [specific way tool was used]…” should be added to the acknowledgments or below the report table of contents.

Authors take responsibility for the accuracy, integrity, and originality of any content generated by GAI, GPT, or LLMs. GAI, GPT, or LLM tools (such as ChatGPT) cannot be listed as an author or a co-author of submitted work. Authors are responsible for ensuring that appropriate permissions have been obtained to reuse material and must provide proper attribution, including checking any references for accuracy.

 

Additional Information 

Authors take responsibility for the accuracy, integrity, and originality of any content generated by GAI, GPT, or LLMs.  As this example of an AI-generated image illustrates, sometimes the results of AI-generated data can include errors and inaccuracies that are not easily detectable at first glance
