In short
AI rules differ from one agency to the next. The South Dakota Department of Transportation (SDDOT) requires each research proposal to explain how AI tools were used to prepare it. The proposal must also explain how AI is expected to be used in the research itself.
Varies by program. The rule is set in each program's guidelines, so check the one you are applying to.
