You remain responsible for the output

Explain why two labs counted the same traces differently.

Example

What AI changes in the work

“They ensure appropriate oversight and verification of AI contributions.”

Verify AI contributions

Decide what caused an AI-suggested coating’s lower wear score.

Example

“Researchers may inadvertently relinquish or lose control of their work by delegating too many research tasks into agents.”

Don’t delegate away control

Decide what caused an AI-suggested coating’s lower wear score.

Example

“Peer review remains a fundamentally human process: it validates research through expert scrutiny, strengthens manuscripts through constructive critique, and relies on disciplinary judgement”

Peer review stays human

Correct a research slide once one test set turns out unmatched.

Example

The work itself

“Research organisations provide and/or facilitate training for all career levels and disciplines, including for research managers and research support staff, on using generative AI”
