AI Policy at a Glance
ASME prohibits using generative AI to create substantive content for journal submissions, including drafting text, generating data, conducting analysis, or drawing conclusions. AI Tools may be used to edit, translate, polish, or improve readability of author-created text with full disclosure. AI Tools may not be used to create or alter images or video in any form. AI may be used in original research design with detailed disclosure in Methods, including prompts, datasets, performance evaluation, and bias analysis. AI cannot be listed as an author.
