Where this comes from

The funder's own words, from its own pages.

    Research Council of Norway

    You cannot use artificial intelligence, such as ChatGPT, in your assessment work. The use of artificial intelligence in the application assessment may also constitute a breach of the duty of confidentiality (see above).

This is a reading of what the funder has published, and it is not legal advice. A solicitation can set its own rule, so read the funding announcement before a PI applies.
