AI Co-authorship and Disclosure Policy v0.2

Adopted by Tyche Institute on 26 May 2026. This page is the public, citable version of the Institute's internal disclosure policy for scholarly work prepared with generative-AI assistance.

Policy position

Tyche Institute treats generative AI as a tool, not as an author. AI systems are not listed as authors because they cannot take responsibility for the accuracy, integrity, originality, legal status, or post-publication defense of scholarly work.

When generative-AI assistance is used in a Tyche-affiliated scholarly output, the named human author remains responsible for conception, source selection, methods, empirical work, interpretation, final text, citations, and any errors. The submitted work discloses AI assistance in the manuscript, cover letter, or submission form according to the target venue's policy.

Disclosure rule

The disclosure must say what kind of assistance was used, which tool or tool chain was used where material, and whether the assistance was limited to narrow technical support or included drafting, restructuring, translation, argument development, citation checking, or editorial recalibration.

Tyche uses a scope-match rule: the public disclosure must honestly match the actual workflow. A narrow disclosure cannot be used for a manuscript that received broader generative-AI assistance. Where a venue requires stricter disclosure, the venue rule applies.

Standard wording

The default heading in manuscripts is Generative-AI assistance. For narrow technical assistance, the disclosure identifies the tool and task and confirms author verification and responsibility. For AI-assisted drafting or substantive revision, the disclosure expands to name the drafting or revision workflow and preserves the same author responsibility statement.

The policy keeps an internal AI-use log for publication workflows where that is needed to support accurate disclosure. The public artifact carries the disclosure paragraph; the underlying log is retained as an accountability record and may be summarized or supplied to editors when appropriate.

Policy anchors

The policy follows the converging publication-ethics position that AI-assisted technologies must be disclosed when used in scholarly preparation, that authors should identify the tool and purpose, and that responsibility remains with human authors.
