What is AI-use transparency?

AI-use transparency makes AI assistance part of the evidence trail.

Definition

What AI-use transparency means.

AI-use transparency is an assessment design principle that asks learners to identify where, how, and why they used AI during a task. Instead of hiding AI assistance or relying only on detection, it makes AI use visible for reasoning, review, and grading.

Example

What it looks like in practice.

A student submits the final response plus prompts used, choices accepted or rejected, and a defense of their own reasoning.
