Policy Toward AI-Created Content

Regarding our use of LLM tools in our content:

AI (LLM tools) tools may be used for supportive tasks (e.g., editing, administrative tasks, or general organization). They are not used to determine instructional intent, pedagogical judgment, or final conclusions.

For example, I used AI to lookup statistics on AI use:

TeachThought may use AI tools to assist with research, analysis, editing, and administrative tasks, with human oversight and editorial judgment. This reflects increasingly common professional practice: U.S. Census Bureau data show that 55% of U.S. workers have used AI for at least one work task, while 17–20% of U.S. businesses report using AI in a business function; a 2025 McKinsey survey found 88% of respondents said their organizations use AI in at least one business function.

Sources: U.S. Census Bureau, AI Use at Work (2026); U.S. Census Bureau, Business Trends and Outlook Survey (2026); McKinsey & Company, The State of AI: Global Survey 2025.

As stated, we often use AI to check information, identify errors, and help us begin, then summarize and use select statistics and information.

I started TeachThought in 2011 and we’ve published almost three thousand posts in the last 15 years. There’s just no way I could even begin to keep up with it all.

As always, feel free to message me with any comments/questions and I’ll my best to answer them.
