American Society for Gastrointestinal Endoscopy AI policy

For applicants

• For ASGE Research Awards, transparent and purposeful AI use in developing the proposal is allowed with limitations. Before using an AI tool, applicants should confirm that it does not take ownership of the output.[1]
• If AI is used to generate illustrations or figures, this should be described in the caption. ASGE discourages using AI to identify or format references because of hallucinated references.[1]
• For the AI Scholars Program application, AI writing tools may edit, brainstorm, or proofread, but must not generate the substance of responses; reasoning, examples, and claims must be the applicant's own.[2]

   “If AI is used to generate illustrations or figures, its use should be described in the caption. We discourage the use of AI for identification and/or formatting of references due to the known potential for inaccurate (hallucinated) references.”
