AMA does not recommend citing AI software such as ChatGPT as the creator/author of any material, as software does not qualify for "authorship" (it is not human and does not posess independant thought).

If you use AI software to generate content that is included in an assignment, in text you should explain that you have used a particular software tool to do so, and provide a citation for the software:

Software Name. Version no. Publisher; Year. Accessed Date. URL

For example:

ChatGPT¹ was used to generate patient information sheets, which were then checked for quality and corrected as necessary.

1. ChatGPT. Version 4.5. OpenAI; 2025. Accessed February 28, 2025. https://openai.com/

Note: The way software companies identify the version of the software you are using differs from company to company. In the ChatGPT example above, the versioning used by ChatGPT was a date, rather than a version number.

The example below shows how to cite software with more detailed version information. It is also an example of softwared installed on your computer (as opposed to web-based software):

Microsoft Excel for Microsoft 365 MSO. Version 2208, Build 16.0.15601.20540. Microsoft; 2023.

In EndNote, this output style is listed under "JAMA" (for the Journal of the American Medical Association).
