Verona Declaration sets principles for generative AI use in computing research

Published Nov 10, 2026 (Version 1.0, DOI 10.5281/zenodo.24120769), the Verona Declaration sets principles for using generative AI in computing research (CS, AI, software engineering, data science, etc.). Its core concept is "epistemic control": scientific responsibility remains human, and researchers must be able to justify claims, assess evidence, explain methods, and stand behind conclusions. The declaration warns that generative AI produces convincing-but-wrong results, reinforces users' assumptions, and outpaces human critical review — so what counts as a scientific result is bounded by human scrutiny capacity. It is a living declaration: stable citable versions coexist with an open invitation to comment and improve.
