How AI helps

We also use powerful tools like LLMs to discover resources, research topics, formulate ideas, and clarify concepts and outlines to help break the bottlenecks to knowledge. We will never knowingly publish or republish written newsletter and website editorial content generated by AI. We take full responsibility for the content that we share.

AI assists our process.
Responsibility remains ours.

Technology has an amazing ability to amplify human creativity. Artificial intelligence — specifically generative AI and its foundation, large language models — is a powerful tool that can reduce repetitive tasks, streamline processes, and free up intellectual and creative space for our team. We see the adoption of AI as analogous to the adoption of electricity — a paradigm-shifting tool that opens up opportunities to increase productivity and value. As with electricity, we acknowledge there are risks to using it. We aim to use AI safely and honestly, maintaining these core values as the technology evolves.
