AI Disclosure Statement Generator

An AI disclosure statement is a short paragraph that says which artificial intelligence (AI) tool you used, what the tool did, and what you did yourself. The generator on this page writes that paragraph from the choices you tick and type.

How the Disclosure Generator Works

Each statement names the tool, the task and your part in the work, and comes with a one-line short version. It updates each time you change the form. Fill in the fields in this order.

1. Where this statement goes. Choose one of four settings: A class assignment, A client or freelance deliverable, A published article, post or website, or A research paper or report. The default is A class assignment. The setting changes whose voice the paragraph uses, as covered below.
2. Your name or organization (optional). Type your name or organization if you want it in the statement.
3. AI tool(s) you used. List each tool in the text box. The box shows the placeholder "e.g. ChatGPT, Grammarly", which is only an example. If you leave the box empty, the statement says "an AI tool".
4. What the AI did. Tick every task that happened. The choices are Brainstorming ideas, Outlining or structure, Grammar and spelling checks, Editing or rewording my writing, Drafting some of the text, Summarizing sources or research, Translation, Creating images, and Writing or fixing code. Grammar and spelling checks is ticked by default.
5. What you did yourself. Four boxes are offered: I wrote the final text myself, I reviewed and edited everything the AI produced, I checked the facts and sources myself, and I take full responsibility for the final work. The second and fourth boxes are ticked by default.
6. Anything the AI did NOT touch (optional). Name the parts of the work the AI had no hand in, such as "the analysis and conclusions".

If no box under What the AI did is ticked, the statement says no AI tool was used to create any part of the work. When the paragraph reads right, use the buttons. Copy statement copies the paragraph, Copy short version copies the one line, and Download .txt saves both versions in one file.

Typing in the statement box stops the automatic updates until you change the form again. The generator runs in your browser, and nothing you type is sent anywhere.

What a Good AI Disclosure Statement Says

A useful disclosure is specific. It names the tool, the task, and what you did yourself. A line such as "AI may have been used" tells the reader nothing.

Every statement this generator writes has three parts:

• The tool. The name of each AI tool you used, or "an AI tool" if you left the box empty.
• The task. The tasks you ticked under What the AI did, such as brainstorming or grammar and spelling checks.
• Your part. What you wrote, reviewed, checked and took responsibility for, taken from the four boxes under What you did yourself.

The task part matters when the uses differ. Saying a tool was used for grammar checks is different from saying it drafted text. A reader who sees only "AI was used" cannot tell a spelling fix from a finished paragraph.

Tick only what happened. The ticked defaults are a starting point, so untick any box that does not match your work.

Wording for Each Setting

The setting you choose decides whose voice the paragraph uses. The generator writes in the first person "I" for a class assignment, "we" for a client deliverable or a published piece, and "the author" for a research paper or report. A name you enter is added at the end as a sign-off, or as an "Author:" line on a research paper.

Class Assignment

The paragraph is written as "I" for a class assignment. The statement has the same three parts: the tool, the task and your own part. Your instructor or your school's academic integrity policy decides whether set wording, a form or a citation format is required, so check there before you paste the statement in.

Client or Freelance Deliverable

The paragraph uses "we", and the name you typed is added at the end. Clients and employers set their own rules on AI use and on how to disclose it, so ask for their AI policy before you send the statement.

Published Article, Post or Website

The short version is one line for a footer or caption. The paragraph uses "we", and the name you entered is added at the end. Publishers set their own rules on disclosure, and some require set wording.

Research Paper or Report

The paragraph uses "the author" for a research paper or report. Some publishers and institutions require set wording, a form or a citation format. This generator writes one paragraph in the author's voice. It does not produce a citation, a form or a set wording.

Before You Submit

Check these four points before you submit. The page cannot see the rule that applies to you.

• The rule that applies to you governs. Schools, instructors, clients, employers and publishers set their own rules on AI use and on how to disclose it. Some require a set wording, a form or a citation format, and some forbid some uses entirely.
• A disclosure does not make a prohibited use allowed. If the rule says no AI for a task, a statement describing that use does not change the rule.
• Tick only what happened. The two default boxes under What you did yourself and the grammar box under What the AI did are ticked before you start, so review them first.
• Keep a copy. Download .txt saves the statement and the short version in one file.

The short version suits places that need one line, such as a footer, a caption or a submission form. The full paragraph suits the place your rule names.

If You Did Not Use AI

If no box under What the AI did is ticked, the statement says that no AI tool was used to create any part of the work. Say so plainly, and keep the statement short.

People and organizations that do not use AI for their core work can state that as a standing position. Ban the Bots publishes a no AI policy template for that purpose. Its website template says administrative AI use is disclosed, and its classroom template allows AI as a dictionary, calculator or research starting point with citation.
