Q. How do I cite artificial intelligence like ChatGPT?

APA Format

"In APA, generative AI tools are treated similarly to software. The company or creator of the tool is considered the "author". This is the format for Reference entries:

Company or creator of the tool. (Year this version was released). Name of the AI tool or model (version information if known such as version number, version date, or version name) [Type of AI Model]. URL link address to general site of AI tool.  (Use a hanging indent as normal).

Examples:

OpenAI. (2023). ChatGPT [Large language model]. https://chat.openai.com

OpenAI. (2022). DALL-E (version 2) [Large text-to-image model]. https://labs.openai.com

In-text example: To make fluffy basmati rice, "rinse the rice twice in cold water" (OpenAI, 2023). 

This information was taken from the guide created by Normandale Community College Library.
