  1. I will understand the task before I open an AI tool.
  2. I will attempt the thinking myself before asking for help.
  3. I will use AI to sharpen my work, not to replace it.
  4. I will be able to explain and defend every idea I submit as my own.
  5. I will be honest with my teachers about how I used AI, and honest with myself about what I learned from the work.

… people have made this commitment.
