How to check your work before you submit
Academic integrity means that assessed work authentically represents the student's abilities and that outside words, ideas, data, images, assistance and tools are made transparent. Requirements apply before, during and after an assessment; plagiarism is only one possible form of misconduct.
The IB does not impose a blanket ban on AI software. However, it does not regard work produced even partly by an AI tool as the student's own. Any AI-generated text, image or graph included in submitted work must be clearly credited in the body and appropriately referenced in the bibliography, alongside any additional school rules.
Make sure the submitted reasoning, decisions, analysis and conclusions demonstrate the student's own work wherever the assessment requires them.
Trace quotations, claims, images, data and ideas to the original source; use the required citation style and verify that every reference is real and accurate.
Record the tool and material used. Clearly credit and reference any permitted AI-generated text, image or graph included in the submitted work.
Follow the task's collaboration rules. Discussion can be permitted while copying, prohibited joint production or enabling another student to submit duplicated work can be misconduct.
Follow examination and coursework instructions, including restrictions on devices, assistance, materials, timing and communication.
