AI Policy

I use AI tools in my work, and I want to be plain about how. A human stays responsible for everything I ship, and your data stays out of public models.

How I use AI

  • I use AI tools to help with drafting, research, code, and design.
  • AI assists. I decide. Every deliverable is reviewed by a person, me, before it reaches you.
  • AI can give me a starting point. The thinking, the judgment, and the final call are mine.

Human oversight and accountability

  • I own the output of my work, whether or not AI helped produce it.
  • I do not let AI make decisions that affect people without a human in the loop.
  • If AI gets something wrong, it is on me to catch and fix it.

Your data and AI

  • I do not put confidential client information into public or consumer AI tools that train on what you type.
  • When I use AI on your material, I use tools and settings that do not train on your data, or I remove identifying details first.
  • If a project needs a specific arrangement for AI and data, we agree on it in writing.

No training on client data

  • I do not feed your private data into public models for training.
  • Your material is used to do your work, not to improve someone else's model.

Transparency with clients

  • I tell you where AI is part of the work.
  • You can ask me not to use particular tools on your project, and I will respect that.

How I recommend AI

  • I recommend tools based on fit, not hype.
  • I flag the real tradeoffs: privacy, accuracy, bias, cost, and lock-in.
  • If AI is the wrong tool for your problem, I will say so.

AI on this website

  • The writing on this site is mine. AI may help me draft or edit, but I review it and stand behind it.
  • Analytics on the site are privacy-friendly and described in the Privacy Policy.

The limits of AI

  • AI output can be confident and wrong. I check it.
  • AI does not replace human judgment on anything that matters.
