✅ IB’s Official Stance on AI Use
The International Baccalaureate (IB) does not ban AI tools like ChatGPT or Jojo AI, but it requires students to cite them if they contribute to academic work. According to IB’s updated Academic Integrity Policy, AI-generated content is not considered a student’s own work unless properly acknowledged.

✍️ CAS Reflections: Should You Mention AI Use?
CAS reflections are personal narratives, focusing on growth, challenges, and self-awareness—not academic analysis.
When You Should Mention AI:
- If AI helped structure your reflection or refine the language substantially.
- If you used AI-generated prompts or questions to shape your response.
When You Don’t Have to:
- If AI only checked spelling or grammar (e.g., basic proofreading tools).
- If the reflection is clearly your personal voice and thoughts.
Tip:
Even though CAS is not graded, honesty matters. Using AI minimally? No need to disclose. Relying on AI for content generation? Best to be transparent.
📚 EE Research: AI Use Must Be Cited
The Extended Essay (EE) is a formal academic paper. If you use AI for:
- Topic brainstorming
- Outline suggestions
- Background summaries
- Draft phrasing or phrasing help
…you must mention the AI source in your methodology or acknowledgments, and cite it properly in-text or in your bibliography.
IB’s Expectation:
“Work generated in part or whole by AI must be clearly marked and cited as such.”
—IB Academic Integrity Guidance, 2023
Failing to do so may result in academic misconduct, especially if AI-generated insights appear as your own.
🧾 Citation Tip for AI Tools
Use this sample format:
OpenAI. (2025). ChatGPT (July 2025 version) [Large language model]. https://chat.openai.com/
Or for Jojo AI:
RevisionDojo. (2025). Jojo AI [Custom AI tutor]. https://www.revisiondojo.com/feature/jojo
📋 Summary Table: AI Disclosure in IB Work
IB Task Mention AI Use? Why? CAS Reflections Optional (if minimal) Focus is on personal experience & voice Extended Essay (EE) Yes, if used meaningfully Required under IB Academic Integrity policy
🧠 Final Thoughts
- CAS = be authentic, AI can assist but should not dominate.
- EE = be transparent, cite AI just like any research tool.
- If you’re unsure how much AI input is too much, consult your supervisor or IB coordinator.
📣 Call to Action
- If you're using AI like Jojo AI by RevisionDojo to clarify concepts or plan outlines—that’s okay.
- Just keep your work original, cite your tools clearly, and follow IB academic integrity.
