How to use the HIFA forums - ChatGPT and other AI tools

3 May, 2026

Dear HIFA colleagues,

Whenever a new member joins us, they receive a welcome message with guidance on how to use the HIFA forums.

This guidance is also available on our website here:

https://www.hifa.org/forums/how-use-hifa-forums

Under 'what to post' and 'what not to post', I have provisionally added a new item on the use of ChatGPT and other AI tools:

"If you use ChatGPT or other AI tools for any message you send, please indicate this."

Many thanks,

Neil
