Student AI Disclosure Examples for Essays and Reports

Why disclosure examples help

Many students are willing to follow AI rules but do not know how to describe tool use. Clear examples reduce uncertainty and make AI detection reviews less adversarial.

Use these examples with AI disclosure in academic writing, academic integrity workflows, and 2026 school AI detection guidance.

Example statements

Brainstorming: I used AI to generate possible angles, then selected and developed my own argument. Grammar review: I used AI to identify grammar issues but wrote and revised the final content myself. Citation support: I used AI to format citations, then verified each source manually. Translation support: I used AI to compare phrasing and checked the final wording myself.

What good disclosure includes

A good disclosure states what tool support was used, what task it helped with, and what the student personally verified or revised. It should be short, specific, and attached to the assignment when required.

FAQ

Does every AI use need disclosure?

Not always. The course or organization policy should define the threshold. Low-risk spelling support may be treated differently from generating paragraphs or rewriting the argument.

What makes disclosure trustworthy?

Trustworthy disclosure is specific, concise, and verifiable. It should name the kind of help received and what the student personally checked or revised.
