Disclose AI used for proofreading

Disclose AI used for proofreading works best when you separate your own contribution, the tool or source role and the checks completed before submission. This page provides a focused method, example and clear limitations.

Direct answer

Disclose AI used for proofreading comes down to two questions: was the assistance permitted for this assessment, and is its role described honestly? Course rules take priority over any detector score.

What to check

Turn the issue into observable checks. Each point should be confirmable in the brief, draft or original source before you edit.

  • Assessment instructions
  • Permitted or prohibited use
  • Stages where AI was used
  • Outputs accepted or rejected
  • Human verification

Concrete example

Practical case: isolate the relevant passage, compare it with the assignment instructions and sources, then record one precise correction. Check 4 should leave a clear record of what was verified.

Why this case is specific
