Our commitment
What StudyIB's tools are for, what they must never be used for, and what the IB actually requires of you. For the student checklist and the official policy links, there is also the IB academic-integrity resource.
If you only read one part of this page, read this one. Then check the rules for your specific task with your teacher, because they can be stricter.
Academic integrity is fundamental to the Diploma and to education itself. These are design constraints on the tools, not warnings attached to them.
Our tools are designed to help you understand concepts better, not to do the work for you. Feedback points out areas for improvement, but the thinking and writing must be yours.
Students should confirm task-specific permission, keep a record of relevant tool use, and disclose or cite generated material when required by the IB, school, teacher, or assignment.
StudyIB tools are intended for explanation, planning, practice, and feedback, not for presenting generated assessed content as the student’s own work.
Where a tool discusses assessment criteria, it should identify the relevant IB task or course context and help the student understand expectations without replacing the required work.
The International Baccalaureate Organization expects students to produce genuine, authentic work and to acknowledge material that is not their own. Academic misconduct can lead to consequences under the applicable IB and school procedures.
The IB does not impose a blanket ban on AI tools, but it requires transparent use. AI-generated text, images, or graphs included in submitted work must be clearly acknowledged and appropriately referenced.
Citation and permission are different checks. Crediting AI-generated material prevents it from being represented as original, but the task may still prohibit that material or require the assessed reasoning, writing, data, or creative decisions to be produced by the student.
Permitted support differs by subject and by session. Confirm the task rules first; everything below assumes you have.
IA tasks and permitted support differ by subject and assessment session. After confirming the task rules, StudyIB may be used to:
The EE requires transparent acknowledgment of sources and authentic student authorship. Before using an AI-assisted feature:
Practical guidance for using StudyIB and other AI study tools while keeping assessed work your own.
It depends on how the tools are used and on the rules set by the student’s school and teacher. Using AI for explanations, practice, or feedback may support learning, but submitting AI-generated material as a student’s own work or failing to disclose it can breach IB academic-integrity requirements.
Responsible uses can include identifying gaps in understanding, practising concepts, reviewing clarity, and learning how assessment criteria work. Students should critically check AI output, follow school and teacher instructions, and clearly acknowledge or cite AI-generated material when it is included in submitted work.
Misuse includes presenting AI-generated content as the student’s own, using AI in ways prohibited for an assessment, or failing to acknowledge generated text, images, or graphs. Students should confirm assignment-specific rules with their teacher before using AI.
An IA must authentically demonstrate the student’s own assessed work. Do not present AI-generated data, analysis, or conclusions as your own; follow the subject teacher’s instructions and transparently acknowledge any permitted AI-generated material.
Used the way they are meant to be, these tools leave you understanding the thing. That is the only outcome worth having, and it is the one nobody can take off you.
