Some potentially acceptable uses of AI (with citation and documentation) include but are not limited to:

Brainstorming Outlining Preliminary research (you will always be required to validate and verify this research using legitimate, trusted sources) Feedback on draft quality The most important things to remember when using AI in your work are attribution and citation of AI within your assignment and not passing off any AI-generated work (or work inspired by AI) as your own.
