In alignment with the IB Academic Honesty Policy, all work and information submitted by applicants during either the application process or training needs to comply with the following statement: Applicants need to 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 any 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. If this is not done, the applicant (training participant) would be misrepresenting content—as it was not originally written by them—which is a form of academic misconduct.
