Academic note: I used a generative AI tool to brainstorm alternative search terms. I conducted the literature search, selected sources, wrote the analysis, and verified all citations independently.
8 AI Disclosure in Writing Examples
Use these examples to study structure, specificity, tone, and variation. They are demonstrations—not claims about a real person or organization unless the example itself makes that explicit.

What to notice in the examples
A useful disclosure is specific about the tool-assisted task, proportionate to the context, consistent with applicable policy, and careful not to imply that disclosure transfers responsibility for accuracy, originality, confidentiality, or final editorial judgment to the tool.
- Context: which policy, assignment, publication, or client expectation applies.
- Tool role: what the AI system was used to do.
- Human role: what was independently checked, revised, selected, or authored.
- Scope boundary: what the AI system was not relied on to determine when that distinction matters.

Editing note: An AI assistant was used to flag sentences that might be unclear. I reviewed each suggestion and made all final wording decisions.
3
Translation workflow: Machine-assisted translation was used for an initial draft of interview excerpts; a bilingual editor reviewed the quoted passages against the original recordings.
4
Coding disclosure: AI-assisted code suggestions were used during prototyping. I tested, modified, and reviewed the final code before inclusion.
5
Client note: Generative AI was used to produce early headline variants from the approved brief. The published copy was selected, rewritten, and fact-checked by the editorial team.
6
Research note: I did not use AI-generated citations as evidence; all factual claims were checked against the linked primary or authoritative sources.
7
Creative-work note: AI was used for brainstorming names during prewriting but not to draft the manuscript text.

Internal workflow record: Tool → [name/version if required]; task → outline alternatives; inputs → non-confidential brief; human review → final structure selected and rewritten manually.
Keep the underlying decision or pattern, then replace the subject, evidence, relationship, constraints, and tone with details that belong to your situation. If your final line still works after swapping only one noun, it may be too close to the example.
