FIR #333: When to Disclose That You’ve Used AI

“Disclosure and transparency are the currency of the internet,” wrote journalist and author Evan Osnos. That has proven to be true time and again. It undoubtedly will be true of using generative AI in marketing and communication. But will it be true every time we use AI? Even when we’re just using it as a tool, like a calculator? The challenge of establishing guidelines for disclosing the use of AI is the subject of this short midweek episode. ----- The next monthly, long-form episode of FIR will drop on Monday, May 22. We host a Communicators Zoom Chat each Thursday at 1 p.m. ET.
