From the IfATE guidance on the use of Artificial Intelligence (AI) in EPA:

🤖 Where AI has been used as part of the apprentice’s day-to-day work and forms part of a project report, presentation, or artefact, it should be referenced as such within the work
🤖 AI must not be used to produce the report or portfolio
