7.10 Research Integrity, Authorship, and Disclosure of AI Use
◆ Key idea: responsibility is not delegated to the tool.
AI does not lessen the researcher’s responsibility for accuracy, originality, rights, and
transparency. A tool cannot be an author, because it bears no responsibility, gives no
consent, and cannot defend the work. Disclosure clarifies the use, but it does not correct

fabrication, plagiarism, or a breach of confidentiality.
