Forum Paedagogik supports the ethical use of emerging AI-powered technologies in manuscript preparation. However, generative AI and AI-assisted technologies should only be utilized to refine language, improve readability, and correct semantic errors. Their application is strictly prohibited for generating core research content, including drafting the introduction, literature review, methodology, data analysis, drawing conclusions, and writing the discussion section. Authors are not permitted to list AI or AI-assisted technologies as a co-author. Even when these tools are used for language editing, their application must remain under human oversight, and the final manuscript must be thoroughly reviewed and verified by the author(s). Because AI tools can produce inaccuracies, full responsibility and accountability rest entirely with the authors.
