Enacting AI disclosure in scholarly publishing

Abstract Anthropologists and other scholarly authors are increasingly expected to disclose and describe their use of generative AI. In this commentary, we sketch emerging practices of AI disclosure and attribution, consider how these practices might be adapted to address anthropology's distinctive epistemic and ethical commitments, and recommend strategies for AI disclosure that build on existing norms in anthropological publishing. Looking beyond publishers’ policies, we also examine how the expectation to disclose AI use is being codified across scales and sectors, contextualizing anthropologists’ decision‐making with respect to relevant trends in other regulatory and professional domains.
