💥 The stakes are higher now for content. 

 

✨ When everyone has a platform, quality rises to the top. But it must be authentic and trustworthy. 

 

🤖 Recently, we’ve seen numerous examples of AI scams–everything from unauthorized voice clones to fake travel guides and phony literary magazine submissions. 

 

🗓️ This is a moment in time when transparency matters a lot. 

 

📝 Business leaders must have a proactive content strategy when it comes to AI experimentation. Here’s what we recommend:

 

☑️ Have an AI policy. Create and share internal guidelines that explain how and which/what AI tools can be used in the workplace. This can evolve over time, but it communicates what’s appropriate (and what’s not) and keeps everyone responsible on the job. 

 

☑️ Double-check your facts (and backlinks). Whose information are you resharing? Remember, AI hallucinations can get information wrong. AI can also generate content that violates copyright laws. 

 

☑️ Note the author(s) and publish date. If an AI tool was used in conjunction with a human, say so. With the rising adoption of this technology, it’s becoming increasingly important for brands to date their content and spell out who contributed to writing it to uphold credibility. 

 

☑️ Cite authentic sources. Real people or organizations with real expertise and real data. It’s critical to give credit where it's due. 

 

☑️ Edit ruthlessly. People will spot manufactured content in seconds. If you use generative AI to inform a first draft, take the time to add your voice and edit out unrealistic context.

JUST FOLLOWING UP 🙋

💥 Generative AI tools can facilitate the development of content. Use them to spark creativity but avoid sharing confidential or sensitive information.

“With every new technology, there will always be people who use it with harmful intentions. The rules for content are the same as they’ve always been: be real, seek connection and above all, be transparent to build trust.”
