Quick Questions

Shade in the A or B circle for each question.

1. Which comment correctly acknowledges that AI helped write a function?

A # Written entirely by me

B # AI-generated: ChatGPT, prompt: 'write a function to average marks'

2. You used an AI tool to generate part of your SAC solution. What should you do?

A Say nothing because the code works

B Say that AI helped, following your school and VCAA authentication rules

3. Why can AI-generated code be a copyright or licensing risk?

A It may closely copy code that is covered by a licence

B AI code is always free of any licence

4. Who is responsible for the final code in your submitted program, including the parts AI wrote?

Answer Key

Acknowledging AI use and licensing of generated code

Section A: Quick Questions

B — # AI-generated: ChatGPT, prompt: 'write a function to average marks'

B — Say that AI helped, following your school and VCAA authentication rules

A — It may closely copy code that is covered by a licence

A — You are

A — # AI-generated: Copilot, prompt: 'validate an age between 0 and 120'

Section B: Match the Pairs

# AI-generated: ChatGPT, prompt: sort a list → A comment that acknowledges AI helped write the code, naming the tool and the prompt used

# Source: MIT licence, checked by Sam → A comment recording the licence of reused code and that the student checked it before using it

Acknowledge the AI tool in the code so a teacher or VCAA assessor can see which part it helped write → # AI-generated: Copilot, reviewed by me

Record the prompt you gave the AI tool so your use of it can be authenticated → # Prompt: write a function to average marks

def total(a, b): return a + b # written by me → The student says they wrote this themselves when it was generated by AI. AI help must be acknowledged, for example # AI-generated: ChatGPT.

# AI wrote it, so it is safe to use import shop_code → The student assumes AI output is safe and free to use. They must check it does not copy licensed work and they remain responsible for the final code.

Section C: Definitions

# AI-generated: ChatGPT — A comment that acknowledges AI helped write the code. Name the tool and prompt, and check the output is not copied licensed work. You stay responsible for the final code.

Section D: Fill in the Blanks

# AI-generated: ChatGPT

# AI-generated: ChatGPT
# Prompt: sort a list of marks

# Checked: not copied from licensed work

# I am responsible for the final code

Section E: Spot the Error

C — Generated code can copy licensed work, so you must check the licence. The line should say the check was done, for example '# Licence checked: yes'.

A — The acknowledgement must be a comment. Without the # at the start Python tries to run it and gives a syntax error. It should be '# AI-generated: Copilot'.

B — This contradicts line 1. An acknowledgement should record the prompt that was used, for example '# Prompt: make a login check', not claim the work is all your own.

C — You stay responsible for the final code, even when AI helped write it. The comment should say that you checked and tested it, for example '# Checked and tested by me'.

D — The prompt asked for a function that doubles a number, but n + 2 does not do that. You are responsible for checking AI code matches the requirement. It should be 'return n * 2'.
