Use of Artificial Intelligence

Firstly, because these tools cannot take accountability for such work, AI tools/large language models cannot be credited with authorship of any National Headquarters publication. Secondly, any use of AI tools within the development of a National Headquarters publication must be disclosed by the author(s) upon submission. Authors are allowed to use generative AI and AI-assisted technologies in the writing process before submission, but only to improve the language and readability of their writing.

Questions
