Input

  1. Public trust in AI sits at 46% globally, with 39% in advanced economies versus 57% in emerging ones (attributed to KPMG/University of Melbourne, 48,340 respondents across 47 countries).
  2. 66% of people use AI despite the majority not trusting it (attributed to Ipsos, 31-country survey).
  3. 57% of workers hide their AI use at work (attributed to KPMG/University of Melbourne study of over 48,000 workers across 47 countries).

  5. UK universities reported over 7,000 formal academic misconduct cases involving AI in a single year (2023-2024).
  6. Every major journal and conference — Nature, Science, ACM, IEEE, NeurIPS, and all five major academic publishers — has issued a formal policy prohibiting AI as an author.
  7. NeurIPS requires AI disclosure only when AI is part of the methodology.
  8. Science requires full prompts to be included in the methods section.
  9. ACM and IEEE require acknowledgment of AI use with varying specificity.
  10. Kurosawa's Throne of Blood (1957) is based on Macbeth, The Bad Sleep Well (1960) is based on Hamlet, and Ran (1985) is based on King Lear.
  11. IBM published an AI Attribution Toolkit in 2025 that captures contribution type, amount, and review process, and describes itself as "a first pass" at a voluntary standard.
  12. The AIA icon system was proposed by Avery, Abril, and del Riego with graduated visual indicators for AI involvement levels: Generated, Edited, Suggested (published in Journal of Technology, Innovation & Practice, 2024).
  13. Research presented at CHI 2025 (He et al.) found that AI receives less credit than humans for equivalent work.
  14. The CRediT taxonomy (NISO Z39.104-2022) covers 14 types of human contribution but has no provision for AI.
