How can I use AI for research without it being cheating?

Using AI to Assist with Research (Without Cheating)

AI tools can be very helpful for research by suggesting ideas, summarising information, explaining complex topics, and helping organise notes. However, using AI is not the same as doing your own work.

To use AI responsibly:

  • Treat AI as a support tool, not a replacement for your own thinking.

  • Always check the accuracy of AI-generated information against reliable sources.

  • Use AI to guide your research process (e.g., brainstorming, clarifying terms, creating study questions).

  • Do not copy and paste AI responses directly into your assessment—this counts as plagiarism.

  • Make sure your final work reflects your own understanding, analysis, and voice.

 

 

By using AI ethically, you can enhance your learning while still meeting academic standards and demonstrating your own skills.
