GenAI Terms

Common terms include:

  • AI-assisted — GenAI helped with brainstorming, outlining, revising, or editing, but a person remained the primary author.

  • AI-generated — substantial text, images, audio, code, or other content was produced by GenAI.

  • AI-enhanced — existing human-created material was improved, expanded, reformatted, or polished using AI.

  • AI-edited — AI was used for grammar, clarity, style, organization, or proofreading.

  • AI-supported — a broad term indicating that AI contributed to the work process.

  • AI-mediated — AI played an intermediary role, such as translating, summarizing, adapting, or transforming content.

  • AI-translated — GenAI was used to translate the material.

  • AI-summarized — GenAI was used to create a summary.

  • AI-adapted — AI helped modify content for a different audience, level, format, or purpose.

  • Human-authored, AI-assisted — emphasizes that the author retained control and responsibility.

  • Human-reviewed AI-generated content — indicates that AI produced material that was later checked and revised by a person.

The acknowledgment itself may be called an:

  • AI disclosure statement

  • Generative AI use statement

  • AI transparency statement

  • AI acknowledgment

  • AI attribution statement

  • AI provenance statement

  • Statement of AI assistance

  • Declaration of generative AI use

A practical classification for a GenAI policy could be:

  1. No AI used

  2. AI-assisted

  3. AI-edited

  4. AI-generated and human-reviewed

  5. Substantially AI-generated

Example wording:

Generative AI use statement: ChatGPT was used to brainstorm ideas and improve clarity. The author reviewed, revised, and takes responsibility for the final content.

For an image:

AI-generated image: Created using an image-generation model and selected and edited by the author.

For substantial text generation:

Portions of this document were generated with ChatGPT. The author verified the information, revised the output, and accepts responsibility for the final version.

The most neutral umbrella term is “AI-assisted content.” The clearest formal label is “Generative AI use statement.”
