IEEE AI authorship and disclosure policy

URL: https://open.ieee.org/author-guidelines-for-artificial-intelligence-ai-generated-text/

Extract¶

FACT: IEEE requires disclosure of AI-generated content in the acknowledgments section. The disclosure must state: the AI system(s) used, which sections used AI, and the level of AI involvement. AI tools cannot be listed as authors. Editing and grammar use is "recommended but not required" for disclosure. Reviewers are prohibited from using public AI platforms for reviews (confidentiality concern). April 2024 guidelines.

Relevance to Hypotheses¶

Hypothesis	Relationship	Strength
H1	Supports	Prohibition and disclosure confirmed
H2	Contradicts	Formal policy exists
H3	Supports	"Recommended but not required" for editing differs from ACM's blanket exemption

Context¶

IEEE's approach is more granular than most — requiring identification of specific sections where AI was used. The editing disclosure is notably weaker (recommended, not required) compared to the content disclosure requirement.
