[S1-Q1] advice against idea/composition generation

Newer on the scene are tools that allow for the generation of ideas and actual composition of papers and essays. While it might be tempting to rely on these types of aides, here’s my two cents about why you should shy away from them when preparing your college essays.

[S1-Q2] authenticity rationale

First and foremost, nothing generated by an AI tool will be as authentic and compelling as something you compose all on your own.

[S2-Q1] application AI caution

AI is not inherently “bad”, but I caution against it in your college application.

Also, you are asked to sign off on your application verifying that the work is yours alone.

Limits and verification gaps

  • Both sources are official advice by the Dean, not student opinion, but neither is a detailed formal AI-use code or list of automatic admission penalties.
  • The 2026 article mentions spell/grammar tools as longstanding technologies; mere mention is not an express permission for all AI editing. The latest advice particularly cautions against generated ideas and composition.
  • Neither page separately settles translation, research supplements, short answers, a disclosure procedure, or an AI-detector regime.
  • The 2025 statement refers to an application attestation; the full attestation form was not accessed and should not be reconstructed from this short description.
  • No silence is treated as permission; Common App platform rules and enrolled-student coursework policies are separate.

Generative AI Tools Use Policy


The purpose of this policy is to manage the use of Princeton University administrative and operational information with generative AI tools.

In order to support the responsible use of generative AI tools and to mitigate the risks and limitations associated with their use, only generative AI tools licensed by the University should be used with University Information classified as Unrestricted Within Princeton or Confidential information under the University’s Information Security Policy机构工具Institutional tools. Publicly available generative AI tools lack the contractual protections required by the University.摘录Excerpt

This policy applies to all individuals and entities granted access to University Information, including, but not limited to, employees, contractors, temporary employees, and volunteers. For the purposes of this policy, University Information does not include information used for research, academic or instructional purposes.

University-licensed generative AI tools should be used with Princeton Information classified as Unrestricted Within Princeton or Confidential under the University’s Information Security Policy. The use of publicly available generative AI tools in conjunction with such Princeton Information is not permitted数据与隐私Data & privacy by the University.

Disclosing the Use of AI


Princeton's AI disclosure policy aligns with broader conventions about AI and authorship in academic publishing. AI tools do not meet the criteria for authorship for many publishers, and many prohibit the use of AI-generated sources and images. Many publishers provide guidelines and approved usage of AI, as well as guidance for when/how to disclose its use. If this information is not available for a specific publisher, authors and reviewers should reach out to the publisher or editor to confirm their expectations for the use of AI.

Publishers emphasize that authors are accountable for their submitted work, so it is important to review publisher policies for changes for each project or review you submit.

Departmental student example

The department states that students using any AI/LLM in any manner related to data must submit a separate statement specifying the program used, its application, and rationale.披露要求Disclosure It also prohibits uses that violate IRB requirements or ethnographic research ethics concerning confidentiality.

以下为整理者所写的高中适用要点,非该校原文,不作为任何条款的依据。Below: the collector’s notes on application to high school — not the university’s text, and not used as evidence for any provision.

High-school adaptation takeaways

  • Use institution-approved AI systems when handling non-public school information.
  • Treat material entered into public AI tools as potentially disclosed outside the school.
  • Require students to state what tool they used, how they used it, and why.
  • AI cannot be treated as an author; the human student remains accountable for the submitted work.
  • Ask the relevant teacher, department, publisher, or project supervisor when expectations are unclear.
