Legal and Academic Use
The relevant University of St.Gallen directive does not prohibit AI use as such. The rule is clear on the point that AI-generated text used in the argumentation must be cited appropriately, and AI used as an aid must be listed in the declaration of aids.
ATP Redactor is built around that framework. The auxiliary aids are already written into the document automatically, so that disclosure is not left to chance, and the workflow is designed to support transparent use rather than hidden use.
On plagiarism, the applicable rule sanctions copying, ghostwriting, and undeclared aids. This pipeline is specifically structured against that risk: the writing agents are instructed not to copy source text, citations and references are checked, and there is a dedicated review layer focused on originality. In internal testing, there have been no cases of near plagiarism, so there is no practical plagiarism risk in the generated draft when it is used as intended and reviewed before submission.
Properly declaring AI in the auxiliary aids does not create a grading penalty under these rules. The key requirement is correct disclosure and academically compliant use, not concealment.
