Section 14.5.2 of the AMA Manual of Style, 11th edition, covers the citation of Software and includes guidance on referencing AI. Nonproprietary descriptive terms should be used for AI tools in articles (e.g., chatbot instead of ChatGPT). After the first mention of an AI tool, you should include the brand name, version number, manufacturer, and date used in parentheses.
In-text example:
On June 12, 2023, the original full text of the question was put into a fresh chatbot session (ChatGPT, model GPT-4, OpenAI) and the generated responses were saved.
In your reference list, AI tools follow the same format as software:
1. ChatGPT. Version Mar 14. OpenAI; 2023. Accessed March 28, 2023. https://openai.com/
