Interesting debate this week at my office: should we be disclosing when we use AI tools in our projects? Some say it's like revealing you used Excel - unnecessary. Others think it's ethical transparency. Where do you stand? I think transparency is important but may be redundant as the expectation of using AI becomes more prevalent.

It’s not really that interesting. I don’t disclose I drove to work, or used a calculator, they are productivity multipliers. It’s implied that I used every tool allowed to make the best use of time to deliver value to the company and customers. What’s not important is how my co-workers feel about it.

Fair enough!

It depends on the nature of the work. If you're being paid to write something, and you're using AI tools, by definition you're not doing creative work. An AI tool is trained on what has already been published and scraped from the web, so by passing off the fruits of that as your original work you would be misrepresenting your efforts and essentially cheating the client.

Interesting, so only creative work needs to be reported?

If you used it to do research or edit text or write code, consider it standard practice that there is no reason to disclose. If you used it to create an image or a video, you should disclose to the audience that it is not real.

Interesting perspective

If every pixel or every word was generated solely by AI, disclose it. If you used AI during your creative process but the end result is not entirely AI generated, no need.

Thanks for sharing!

The Excel people are more right, but there's no black or white answer.

If you used AI nearly exclusively, yeah disclose it. If it was one of many tools that got to the final product then there's no reason to disclose. We'd be putting a disclaimer on every ounce of work otherwise which would make it meaningless.

What if you develop a slide with AI?

I'd be even a bit angry to learn consultants working for me didn't use AI. Not using ubiquitous productivity boosting tools is just money from my pocket. But then I also wouldn't hire a firm just to have a scapegoat, like many do.

Anyway, so no, no need to disclose. Unless there are licensing considerations needed.

Don't get me wrong though, I still expect everything to be human vetted and whatever AI was used to be used as a copilot. Simple AI results I can get myself, and probably way better and faster than you can, all for essentially free. Your work product will be compared with a naive baseline, and that'll dictate possibilities of future engagements.

I think this is the best answer - you should be using AI to speed things up but the quality standards must absolutely be held up

AI and other technologies over time become ubiquitous in our everyday life. What's more important is that someone knows how to effectively and ethically use those tools and takes accountability for the results.
