Statement on the Use of Generative AI

The International Journal of AI and Computational Sciences (IJACS) acknowledges both the opportunities and challenges presented by generative artificial intelligence (GenAI) tools (e.g., ChatGPT, Midjourney, DALL·E) in research and academic publishing. Authors must disclose any use of GenAI in preparing their manuscripts, including but not limited to data analysis, text generation, image creation, or any other form of contribution.

• Generative AI tools cannot be credited as authors.
• Authors retain full responsibility for the integrity, originality, and ethical compliance of their submissions, including any AI-generated content.
