AI and applications

AI tools like ChatGPT or Copilot can be great for planning and preparing your application, but your answers must be your own. Show us the real you: Your application should reflect your skills, experience, and motivations authentically. Use AI wisely: It's fine to use AI for ideas or to check spelling and grammar, but don't let it write your answers. Why this matters: Applications that rely on AI-generated content may be withdrawn. By applying, you confirm your responses are based on your own knowledge and achievements.
