If the student has used a generative AI, he/she is required to systematically indicate which parts of the work have been processed using this tool, adding a footnote specifying whether the AI was used and for what purpose (information retrieval, text writing and/or text correction). Students remain fully responsible for the content of their work, regardless of the sources used. Thus, by submitting a piece of work for assessment, the student affirms: (i) that it faithfully reflects the phenomenon studied, and for this he/she must have verified the facts; (ii) that he/she has complied with all the specific requirements of the work entrusted to him/her, in particular the requirements for transparency and documentation of the scientific approach used. If any of these statements is not true, whether intentionally or through negligence, the student is in default of his/her ethical commitment to the knowledge produced in the course of his/her work, and possibly to other aspects of academic integrity, which constitutes academic misconduct and will be considered as such.
