Given AI systems like ChatGPT can generate content that is indistinguishable from human-made work, the responsible use of this technology is a growing concern. Although understanding the benefits and harms of using AI systems requires more time, their rapid and indiscriminate adoption in practice is a reality. Currently, we lack a common framework and language to define and report the responsible use of AI for content generation. Prior work proposed guidelines for using AI in specific scenarios (e.g., robotics or medicine) which are not transferable to conducting and reporting scientific research. Our work makes two contributions: First, we propose a three-dimensional model consisting of transparency, integrity, and accountability to define the responsible use of AI. Second, we introduce ``AI Usage Cards'', a standardized way to report the use of AI in scientific research. Our model and cards allow users to reflect on key principles of responsible AI usage. They also help the research community trace, compare, and question various forms of AI usage and support the development of accepted community norms. The proposed framework and reporting system aims to promote the ethical and responsible use of AI in scientific research and provide a standardized approach for reporting AI usage across different research fields. We also provide a free service to easily generate AI Usage Cards for scientific work via a questionnaire and export them in various machine-readable formats for inclusion in different work products at https://ai-cards.org.

翻译：鉴于ChatGPT等人工智能系统能生成与人类作品难以区分的內容，负责任地使用这项技术日益引发关注。虽然理解使用AI系统的益处与危害需要更多时间，但其在实践中被快速且不加区分地采用已成为事实。目前，我们缺乏一个共同的框架和语言来定义和报告AI在内容生成中的负责任使用。已有研究针对特定场景（如机器人或医学）提出了AI使用准则，但这些准则无法迁移至科学研究的开展与报告。本文做出两项贡献：首先，我们提出了由透明度、完整性和问责制构成的三维模型以定义AI的负责任使用；其次，我们引入“AI使用卡片”这一标准化方式，用于报告科学研究中的AI使用情况。本文提出的模型和卡片使用户能够反思负责任使用AI的核心原则，同时帮助研究社区追踪、比较和质疑各类AI使用形式，并推动形成公认的社区规范。该框架与报告体系旨在促进科学研究中AI的道德与负责任使用，并提供跨研究领域报告AI使用行为的标准化方法。我们还通过问卷调查提供免费服务（网址：https://ai-cards.org），可便捷生成科学工作的AI使用卡片，并支持导出为多种机器可读格式，便于纳入不同工作成果。
