What the IB requires
- The IB does not ban AI software. Students may use it where the task allows.
- Content produced by AI is not the student's own work, and must be credited in the body of the work and in the bibliography.
- Uncredited use of AI is academic misconduct.
- Teachers confirm authenticity mainly by knowing the student's work and asking them to explain it, rather than through detection software.
