Use of Artificial Intelligence tools at any stage of content production for The Crest is prohibited.
Such use is prohibited for these reasons:
- The Crest is a place of learning and developing skills, and the use of AI undermines that training.
- The Crest’s audience has the right to expect original reporting and writing, opinions, photography and videography, as well as creativity (e.g., design).
- AI does not distinguish between truth and falsehood. Relying on such unreliable content places The Crest’s credibility at risk.
- The Crest must tell original stories and amplify a range of associated voices. Relying on AI runs counter to that mission because it draws from existing knowledge, which can be biased and limited.
Ultimately, The Crest is a student-run, news-and-information website that demands original work and content. AI does not have a place under such parameters.
