CSE Guidance on Machine Learning and Artificial Intelligence Tools Machine Learning and Artificial Intelligence (AI) tools (such as ChatGPT or chatbots) should not be listed as authors because a nonhuman cannot be responsible or accountable for the accuracy, integrity, and originality of the work, and these responsibilities are required for authorship as outlined in the section on Authorship in the Recommendations for Promoting Integrity in Scientific Journal Publications1 and the ICMJE Roles and Responsibilities for Authorship.2 AI-assisted tools are unable to hold or transfer copyright.
American Medical Association (AMA) 5.1.12 Use of Artificial Intelligence and Language Models Nonhuman artificial intelligence, language models, machine learning, or similar technologies cannot be listed as authors because these technologies do not qualify for authorship.

How do I cite generative AI in MLA style?
You should cite a generative AI tool whenever you paraphrase, quote, or incorporate into your own work any content (whether text, image, data, or other) that was created by it
-acknowledge all functional uses of the tool (like editing your prose or translating words) in a note, your text, or another suitable location
