AI Guidelines
The use of AI-generated content (including but not limited to text, figures, images, and code) shall be disclosed in the acknowledgments section. At the time of submission, the acknowledgments do not count towards the page limit. The AI system used shall be identified, and specific sections of the article that use AI-generated content shall be identified and accompanied by a brief explanation regarding the level at which the AI system was used to generate the content.
The use of AI systems for editing and grammar enhancement is common practice and, as such, is generally outside the intent of the above policy. In this case, disclosure as noted above is not required, but recommended.
To uphold the highest standards of integrity and confidentiality, the use of generative AI for paper reviews is expressly prohibited.
