Our New Policy on the Use of AI in the Creative Process

AI can be a helpful tool in the creative process, such as for creating, editing, paraphrasing, summarizing, translating and narrating content. Furthermore, it offers opportunities for the acceleration of knowledge discovery, refinement of ideas and data analysis. Thanks to its versatility and broad range of applications, generative AI can save content creators considerable time and effort.

While IBFD recognizes the benefits presented by AI-assisted technologies, they are not a substitute for human creativity and critical thinking: AI tools have no concept of publishing integrity or research transparency, and their output can be inaccurate or biased. This new policy has been developed to assist our authors, editors and reviewers with the application of such technologies on their IBFD work, in accordance with the principles of ethical and responsible AI use.
