Our Ethical Use
of Artificial Intelligence

We're devoted to ethical practices that align with our faith, values, and mission. This statement outlines how we incorporate AI responsibly and transparently in our processes.

AI Tools We Use

We actively evaluate the ethics and privacy policies and adjust our use as needed. For instance, when we learned ChatGPT used user data for training, we immediately turned this feature off.

  • Claude: Our primary tool for brainstorming ideas, refining content, and exploring perspectives, thanks to its use of constitutional AI

  • Elict and Notebook LM: Use for deep research and systematic review.

  • Gemini: Ideal for finding and verifying statistics to ground my work in data.

  • Grammarly: This tool for grammar checks, error corrections, and gaps in writing helps maintain clarity in my communication. 

  • Currently, abstaining from ChatGPT

How We Use AI 

  • Research to expand perspectives and knowledge of relevant topics.

  • Identifying patterns and themes for crafting cohesive narratives.

  • Drafting and proofreading content to enhance communication.

  • Thought partnership for sparking new ideas and perspectives for business strategies, SEO-driven articles, and storytelling directions.

  • Streamlining administrative tasks to save time.

  • Summarizing key takeaways from interviews, sales calls, workshops, reports, and research.

  • Simulating scenarios to develop tailored frameworks.

  • Generating interview questions and scenes to film for stories.

  • Story refinement and development.

Human Judgment First

AI is a tool that assists our work, but our expertise, experience, and values shape every output.

We retain complete creative and ethical responsibility, ensuring all content aligns with our faith, values, and mission.

Privacy & Ethical Considerations 

  • Avoid using confidential or sensitive data in AI processes.

  • Employ data masking techniques like replacing names with generic identifiers or removing specific fields to protect privacy.

Ongoing Commitment 

As AI technology evolves, so will our practices of continuously educating ourselves, reflecting on ethical considerations, and updating this statement to reflect changes in how we use AI.

We intend to blend technology with human intuition and creativity, ensuring that every story reflects the heart of our mission.
