AI Use Disclosure

Last Updated: 1 January 2025

How I Use AI When Writing

I use AI tools to support the writing process for posts on this site. I treat them like an editorial assistant: useful for challenging structure, tightening language, finding unclear passages, suggesting alternative wording, and helping me move from rough notes to a clearer draft.

The ideas, judgement, examples, opinions, and final wording remain my responsibility. I review, edit, and approve material before publishing it.

What AI Helps With

• Draft editing, rewriting, and proofreading.
• Checking whether an explanation is clear for the intended audience.
• Suggesting titles, summaries, outlines, and section order.
• Helping identify claims that need verification or more careful wording.

What I Do Not Delegate

I do not use AI as an authority for professional advice, factual claims, legal obligations, regulatory interpretation, or security recommendations. Those still need human review, source checking, and professional judgement.

Where a post relies on facts, standards, laws, reports, or current events, I aim to verify those claims against appropriate sources before publishing.

Confidentiality

I do not intentionally submit client confidential information, sensitive business details, or personal information to AI tools for public website writing. If a real-world example could identify a client or person, I anonymise it, generalise it, or leave it out.

Why I Disclose This

Readers should know how the material they read is made. AI can be a useful writing aid, but it does not replace accountability. This page explains the role it plays here: editor, reviewer, and drafting assistant, not author, expert, or final decision-maker.
