How I use AI

  • Idea generation and source discovery. I may use AI to brainstorm questions, identify potential references, or outline alternative structures.

  • Clarity and efficiency. I may use AI to propose phrasing options or summarize long materials for my initial review.

What I commit to

  • Transparency. I will disclose when and how AI assisted the work so you—and your readers—understand its role in the process.

  • Ethical use and privacy. I do not enter confidential or proprietary material into open generative AI tools. I use paid, enterprise-grade large language models to better protect information privacy.

  • Human responsibility for accuracy. I take full responsibility for the content I deliver. Claims and citations are verified against original sources, not AI output.

  • Attribution. When AI meaningfully contributes to ideas, wording, analysis, or research scaffolding, I will credit the tool and describe its role.

  • Audience-appropriate adaptation. Outputs are edited for scientific accuracy, readability, and audience needs (researchers, health innovators, or the general public).

  • Ongoing review. I update my practices as the technology and professional guidance evolve.

What I don’t use AI for

  • Generating unverified claims, citations, or data.

  • Handling client confidential information in unsecured environments.

  • Producing final drafts without human editing and fact-checking.

Alignment with professional guidance

     These practices align with leading guidance (e.g., APA Journals policy on generative AI and the AMA’s new principles of use for AI in medicine): disclose use, protect privacy, verify sources, attribute assistance, and keep humans accountable for the final work.

     If you have organization-specific AI requirements, I will incorporate them into the proposal and follow them throughout the project.
