Use of Artificial Intelligence and Generative AI

Use of Artificial Intelligence and Generative AI
The International Journal of AI in Pedagogy, Innovation, and Learning Futures recognizes that authors may use Artificial Intelligence (AI) and Generative AI tools to support research, writing, editing, coding, data analysis, and other scholarly activities. The journal permits the responsible use of such tools subject to the following conditions:
• Authors remain fully responsible for the accuracy, originality, integrity, and scholarly quality of all submitted work, regardless of whether AI tools were used.
• Generative AI systems (e.g., ChatGPT, Gemini, Claude, Grok, Copilot, or similar tools) may not be listed as authors or co-authors because they cannot assume responsibility for the content, approve the final manuscript, or satisfy authorship requirements.
• Any substantial use of Generative AI in the preparation of a manuscript should be disclosed in an appropriate acknowledgment, methodology section, or author note. Authors should briefly describe how the tool was used.
• Authors are responsible for verifying all AI-generated content, including facts, citations, quotations, data, code, images, and references. AI-generated errors, fabricated citations, or inaccurate information remain the responsibility of the authors.
• The use of AI tools must not violate copyright, privacy, confidentiality, research ethics, or institutional policies.
• Reviewers and editors must maintain manuscript confidentiality and should not upload submitted manuscripts or confidential review materials into external AI systems unless expressly authorized by the journal.
The journal encourages the ethical, transparent, and responsible use of AI technologies while maintaining the highest standards of academic integrity, scholarly rigor, and research ethics.
