Following the statement of the Committee on Publication Ethics, the Mudd Undergraduate Journal of Ethics upholds the following:
- The Mudd Undergraduate Journal of Ethics recognizes AI is a non-legal entity and thus cannot be an author or co-author because they cannot be held liable for violations of publication ethics.
- The Mudd Undergraduate Journal of Ethics holds the author(s) responsible for all the content of their papers, including portions that involve the usage of AI.
- The Mudd Undergraduate Journal of Ethics recognizes AI as a tool for exploration of ethics, and permits AI use for exploring or brainstorming paper topics. AI is not permitted to generate any elements of the final product beyond refining the paper for grammar, mechanics or prose.
- The Mudd Undergraduate Journal of Ethics requires all usage of AI to be disclosed, cited, and explained in an appendix following the paper.
Regarding the usage of AI in art:
- The Mudd Undergraduate Journal of Ethics prohibits the use of generative AI in the production of artistic submissions. Using editing platforms that have generative features are permitted (Photoshop, Adobe Acrobat etc.), but the piece must be created by a non-AI artist
- Similar to the written requirement, all usage of AI features in editing platforms should be disclosed and explained upon submission.
All submitted pieces must be in compliance with the above policy. The Editorial Board will work alongside and correspond with authors/artists to ensure compliance in accordance to the policy.
The views, opinions, and conclusions expressed in student-authored works published [in this journal / on this website] are those of their respective authors and do not necessarily reflect the official policy, position, or views of Washington and Lee University or the Mudd Center or its administrators, faculty, or staff.
