Integrity & use of AI

Support: support@ethicalfutures.institute

We may update this page as the application and cohort experience evolve.

What we expect

You apply and study with intellectual honesty. That means:

• Work you label as yours reflects your reasoning and writing unless we explicitly assign collaborative formats.
• You disclose when you used generative AI (e.g. brainstorming, drafting, editing, translation) in any submitted admissions material, how you used it, and what is substantially your own judgment.
• You do not submit AI output as if it were unaided human work when the task asks for your analysis.
• You do not fabricate citations, credentials, or experience.

Misrepresentation—including undisclosed AI use where disclosure was required—may result in denial, revocation of admission, or dismissal from the program, in line with enrollment terms.

How we use this rule in admissions

Exact disclosure fields appear in the application. Readers evaluate your judgment, integration, and integrity in context, not whether you ever touched a tool. Undisclosed reliance on AI where substantive reasoning should be yours is treated as an integrity concern.

In the cohort

Course-specific AI rules may be stricter than admissions (e.g. closed-book writing). Those rules are published per assignment.
