Summary
Earlier this year, they committed to publishing a reader-facing explanation of how Ars Technica uses, and doesn’t use, generative AI. Their approach comes from two convictions: that AI cannot replace human insight, creativity, and ingenuity, and that these tools, used well, can help professionals do better work. The short version: Ars Technica is written by humans. These standards aren’t new. The policy will be updated if their practices change in any meaningful way, and any changes will be noted there.
