Authors are expected to clearly indicate how AI contributed to the research process, respecting ethical principles and transparency in its application.
Transparency in Data Processing: In cases where AI algorithms are used, the article should detail the methodologies and parameters used in data processing, with a focus on the replicability and validity of the results.
Critical Evaluation of Results Generated by AI: Authors must be critical of the results generated by AI systems and offer an appropriate human interpretation, considering the potential biases that may exist in the algorithms used.
Ethical Standards in the Application of AI: Work that includes AI in the analysis or collection of data must adhere to the ethical standards of the discipline, especially with regard to data privacy, informed consent, and non-discrimination.
