Use of AI in your application
We appreciate that you may want to use AI tools to help you with your
application. We’re happy for you to use AI to come up with ideas and help
structure your thoughts, but you shouldn’t use AI to fabricate information or
write your whole application for you. One of our values is integrity, and
although we want you to demonstrate your best self, we don’t want an
AI-generated persona. If you simply copy and paste AI-generated content into
your application, this will reduce your chances of success.
