This is specifically for content production policies involving AI. --- ## Core Principle AI CONTENT POLICY EXISTS TO MAINTAIN QUALITY AND TRUST — EVERY AI-GENERATED PIECE MUST BE REVIEWED, EDITED, AND APPROVED BY A HUMAN BEFORE IT REACHES YOUR AUDIENCE. --- ## Phase 1: Brief ### Required Inputs | Input | What to Ask | Default | |-------|------------|---------| | **Content types** | "What content does your business produce? Blog, social, email, reports?" | No default — list all types | | **AI usage level** | "How much of your content involves AI? All, most, some, or experimenting?" | Some — growing | | **Team size** | "Who creates and reviews content?" | Solo creator | | **Brand sensitivity** | "How important is original voice and brand consistency?" | Very important | | **Audience expectations** | "Do your readers care whether content is AI-assisted?" | Somewhat — transparency matters | | **Industry norms** | "Does your industry have specific rules about AI content?" | None specific | **GATE: Confirm the brief before drafting the policy.** --- ## Phase 2: Structure ### Policy Sections 1. **Purpose** — Why this policy exists 2. **Scope** — What content types it covers 3. **AI Usage Tiers** — Levels of AI involvement 4. **Quality Standards** — Review and editing requirements 5. **Disclosure Requirements** — When and how to disclose 6. **Prohibited Practices** — What is never acceptable 7. **Workflow** — Step-by-step content production process 8. **Review Schedule** — When to update the policy **GATE: Confirm the structure before writing.** --- ## Phase 3: Write ### AI Usage Tiers Define levels of AI involvement: | Tier | AI Role | Human Role | Disclosure | |------|---------|------------|-----------| | **Tier 1: AI-Assisted** | Research, outline, brainstorming | Human writes the final content | Optional | | **Tier 2: AI-Drafted** | AI produces first draft | Human edits substantially (30%+ rewrite) | Recommended | | **Tier 3: AI-Generated** | AI produces near-final content | Human reviews and approves | Required | ### Quality Standards ``` ## Content Quality Requirements ### Before Publishing Any AI-Assisted Content: **Accuracy Check** - [ ] All facts verified against primary sources - [ ] Statistics include source citations - [ ] No AI hallucinations (fabricated data, fake quotes, nonexistent sources) - [ ] Technical claims reviewed by subject matter expert (if applicable) **Voice and Brand** - [ ] Content matches brand voice and tone guidelines - [ ] Writing does not sound generic or template-like - [ ] Personal perspective or experience is woven in where appropriate - [ ] Industry jargon used correctly (not mimicked incorrectly by AI) **Originality** - [ ] Content is not a paraphrase of existing articles - [ ] Unique insights, examples, or perspectives are included - [ ] Checked for plagiarism (if high-stakes content) **Technical** - [ ] SEO elements are correct (if applicable) - [ ] Formatting matches platform requirements - [ ] Links are valid and go to intended destinations - [ ] Images are original or properly licensed (not AI-generated without review) ``` ### Disclosure Standards ``` ## Disclosure Guidelines **When to disclose:** - Blog posts where AI generated the majority of the draft - Marketing materials substantially produced by AI - Client deliverables involving AI assistance - Social media content generated entirely by AI **When disclosure is optional:** - Content where AI was used for research or brainstorming only - Lightly edited grammar and style suggestions - Internal communications **Disclosure formats:** - Blog post footer: "This article was written with AI assistance and reviewed by [Name]." - About page: "We use AI tools to enhance our content creation process. All content is reviewed and approved by our team." - Client communications: Disclose per client agreement **What NOT to say:** - Do not claim AI content is "written by [person]" if AI produced the majority - Do not hide AI usage when directly asked - Do not imply human expertise where AI provided the analysis ``` ### Prohibited Practices ``` ## Never Do These - Publish AI content without human review - Use AI to fabricate testimonials, reviews, or endorsements - Present AI-generated research as original research - Use AI to impersonate a specific person's writing style without disclosure - Input confidential client data into AI tools without consent - Publish AI-generated content containing unverified medical, legal, or financial advice - Use AI to generate content that could mislead or deceive the audience ``` ### Content Production Workflow ``` ## AI Content Workflow 1. **Brief** — Define topic, audience, intent, and key messages (human) 2. **Research** — Gather sources and data (AI-assisted, human-verified) 3. **Draft** — Produce initial content (AI or human, per tier) 4. **Review** — Edit for accuracy, voice, and quality (human, mandatory) 5. **Approval** — Final sign-off before publishing (human, mandatory) 6. **Publish** — Post with appropriate disclosure (human) 7. **Monitor** — Check for reader feedback and accuracy issues (ongoing) ``` --- ## Phase 4: Polish ### 1. Content Tier Decision Guide Help decide the appropriate AI tier for each content type: | Content Type | Recommended Tier | Rationale | |-------------|-----------------|-----------| | Thought leadership | Tier 1 (AI-Assisted) | Must reflect personal expertise | | SEO blog posts | Tier 2 (AI-Drafted) | Benefit from AI efficiency with human editing | | Social media captions | Tier 2 (AI-Drafted) | High volume, needs voice editing | | Email newsletters | Tier 1-2 | Depends on personal nature of newsletter | | Client reports | Tier 1 (AI-Assisted) | Client trust requires human authorship | | Product descriptions | Tier 3 (AI-Generated) | Formulaic, volume-driven | | Internal docs | Tier 3 (AI-Generated) | Lower stakes, efficiency priority | ### 2. Policy Communication - Share the policy with anyone who creates content for the business - Post the customer-facing disclosure on your website - Include AI disclosure terms in client contracts where applicable - Review and update the policy every 6 months ### 3. Quality Checklist ``` ## AI Content Policy Checklist - [ ] AI usage tiers defined (Assisted, Drafted, Generated) - [ ] Quality standards require human review before all publishing - [ ] Fact-checking and accuracy verification required for all tiers - [ ] Disclosure requirements specified by content type - [ ] Prohibited practices explicitly listed - [ ] Content workflow includes mandatory human review step - [ ] Each content type mapped to a recommended AI tier - [ ] Customer-facing disclosure language is prepared - [ ] Policy is accessible to all content creators - [ ] Review schedule set (every 6 months minimum) ``` --- ## Example **Business:** Marketing agency producing blog content for clients **Policy excerpt:** "All blog posts produced for clients use Tier 2 (AI-Drafted): AI generates the first draft based on a human-created brief, and a senior writer edits at least 30% of the content for accuracy, voice, and originality. Each post is reviewed by the account manager before delivery. Client agreements include a clause disclosing our AI-assisted workflow." **Disclosure:** "[Agency] uses AI tools to enhance our content creation process. Every piece of content is briefed by a strategist, reviewed by a senior writer, and approved by your account manager before delivery." --- ## Anti-Patterns - **No review step** — publishing AI content without human review guarantees quality problems. Always review. - **Over-disclosing** — adding "Written by AI" to every social caption when AI was used for grammar is unnecessary. Match disclosure to involvement level. - **Under-disclosing** — claiming full human authorship for AI-generated content erodes trust when discovered. Be honest. - **One policy for all content** — thought leadership requires a different AI tier than product descriptions. Tier your policy. - **Ignoring client expectations** — some clients expect human-written content. Disclose AI usage upfront and get consent. --- ## Recovery - **Client objects to AI usage:** Offer a Tier 1 (AI-Assisted only) option at a premium rate for fully human-written content. - **AI content quality drops:** Tighten the review process. Add a second reviewer or require more substantial editing before publishing. - **Team member skips the review step:** Reinforce the workflow. Implement a publish approval step that requires sign-off. - **Audience reacts negatively to AI disclosure:** Emphasize the human oversight. Audiences care about quality and honesty, not the tools used.
