School honesty

Use AI in a way you can explain.

Schools and teachers may set different AI rules. The safest habit is simple: know the rule, keep your own thinking visible, and disclose AI help when the task expects it.

Usually OK

  • Asking for study questions.
  • Getting feedback on clarity.
  • Finding possible sources to check yourself.
  • Practicing explanations in your own words.

Usually risky

  • Submitting AI-written work as your own.
  • Asking AI to solve graded tasks without permission.
  • Using AI where the teacher has forbidden it.
  • Hiding AI assistance when disclosure is required.

Disclosure example

"I used AI to ask study questions and get feedback on structure. I checked the facts and wrote the final answer myself."

When in doubt

Ask the teacher, parent, tutor, or mentor before using AI. If nobody can answer, choose the more honest path: use AI for planning or practice, not for the final answer.
