JACC Won't Require AI Writing Disclosure; Responsibility Rests With Authors

JACC says AI used solely as a writing tool does not require disclosure. The real question is whether authors take responsibility for the science, verify claims, and stand behind every word. ~70% of journals have AI policies yet only ~1 in 1,000 papers disclosed AI writing aid.

• JACC distinguishes AI as a writing tool (no disclosure) from AI used to conduct research (must be reported).
• Enforcing AI disclosure is difficult, and labeling may unfairly disadvantage non-native English speakers.
• The editorial argues that scientific integrity matters more than whether AI polished the prose.
