Guidelines on the Use of Artificial Intelligence at the 2026 Conference

In view of the emergence of new tools, and with the aim of fostering a collective learning experience within the philosophical community, authors may use artificial intelligence only on the condition that they ensure full transparency regarding its use. Accordingly, all submitted papers must include a separate statement, placed after the main text and before the references, providing a full and explicit disclosure, in accordance with the example below, of the AI tool and model version used, as well as the extent and manner of its use. This statement should clarify the role AI played in the development and composition of the paper, including whether it contributed to formulating the research problem or central question, suggesting or developing ideas and arguments, generating or elaborating hypotheses, analyzing and evaluating philosophical positions, or drafting and editing the text. If an idea or research problem originated in, or was adopted from, an interaction with AI, this must also be explicitly stated.

Example:

1. Model and version: For example, ChatGPT (GPT-5).
2. Extent of use: The degree and scope of AI use in the research and writing process.
3. Nature of use: For example, translation, language editing, rewriting, brainstorming, formulating the research problem, generating or developing arguments, and contributing to philosophical analysis.

If no AI tools have been used, this must also be explicitly stated. Where deemed necessary, the conference's academic committee reserves the right to reject papers solely on the grounds of insufficient transparency regarding the use of artificial intelligence.

Note: This policy applies exclusively to the present edition of the conference. In ordinary teaching and research activities, the relevant procedures and regulations should be followed
