NOTE: In all academic work, the ideas and contributions of others must be appropriately acknowledged, and work that is presented as original must in fact BE original. While Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies such as ChatGPT will likely create significant breakthroughs in a wide range of fields, using an AI-content generator to produce scholarly work without proper attribution or authorization is a form of academic dishonesty. In accepting scholarly work for conference presentation, prize/award consideration or publication in the PAT newsletter or The Historian, Phi Alpha Theta expects its members to uphold the honorable standards of our Society by researching, composing and submitting their own original work. In this way, faculty and student members of Phi Alpha Theta can all share in nurturing and protecting the integrity and fairness of our Society’s intellectual enterprise. Submitting content to Phi Alpha Theta that has been generated by someone else, or was created or assisted by a computer application such as ChatGPT, will result in immediate disqualification from conference, award or publication consideration.
