I’m working on an AI policy for my org that allows us to opt out of AI note taking and prohibits AI in our comms/storytelling. here is my list of reasons for the policy, but my board is asking me to cite sources. Can you help me with any good references you would cite for any of these? (Or an edit or restatement where I’ve gotten it wrong or inaccurate?)
*if you want to argue about why I shouldn’t have this policy kindly crawl into a hole in the ground and cover yourself with soil
Here's some sources, good luck!
