Instructions for Written Work

Artificial intelligence (AI) applications

• Because practical experience with AI applications is limited, the instructions on the use of AI in studies will be updated several times during the academic year.
• Read about SeAMK's policy on the use of artificial intelligence.
• Do not give the AI any
  • copyrighted material (for example, books, articles, images, videos). The author or publisher of a work has the exclusive right to decide whether to copy it. When copyrighted content is fed into an AI program, it is copied. Data from licensed databases acquired by the library, such as scholarly articles, must not be fed into language models or other AI tools. Please check the FinELib website for the user rights.
  • sensitive data, personal data (e.g. name, contact details, date of birth, personal identification number)
  • business secrets,
  • interview data or other sensitive data. 
• In general, the terms of use of AI programs make the user responsible for the content entered into the program, so be careful! It is up to you to ensure that you have proper permission to enter and use content in the AI program and that you are not breaking the law by entering content.
• AI applications (ChatGPT, etc.) are not suitable for information retrieval due to the control of sources. Read more How to use artificial intelligence in information searching

Use of AI applications in assignments

• Indicate the AI application you use both in the text as a text reference and in the reference list. Include a full transcript of your conversation with the AI (prompts and AI-generated responses) in the appendix of your assignment.
   

Use of AI applications in thesis

• do not copy the answers provided by the AI anywhere without checking them
• The APA7 team is developing official guidelines on how to cite, quote, and use ChatGPT and other generative AI tools.
• Include the AI application you are using both in the text as a text reference and in the reference list. Include a full transcript of your conversation with the AI (prompts and AI-generated responses) in the appendix of your exercise.
• When you use AI in your thesis, make sure you include it in the last section of the Introduction as much as possible:

  • This thesis has used the ChatGPT language model for text ideation and verification. All sources used in this thesis are sources retrieved by the author of this thesis, not sources generated by the AI. Where the AI application has generated new ideas for the text, these have been checked against the original sources. They have also been properly referenced. The English summary has been written using DeepL Translator for translation and Grammarly for grammar checking.

• If you use the AI application widely to brainstorm and structure your topic, include the discussion you had in the thesis appendix. Please also include the AI application you used in the text-citation and in the bibliography.

In the bibliography
