Effective Date: September 26, 2024
1. Introduction
Quantum Quill Digital ("QQD") recognizes the transformative potential of Generative Artificial Intelligence (GenAI) and its ability to enhance creativity, efficiency, and user experience. This policy outlines the principles and guidelines governing our responsible use of GenAI technologies on our website and in the services we provide to our clients.
2. Scope
This policy applies to all employees, contractors, and partners of QQD who interact with or utilize GenAI tools in any capacity. This includes, but is not limited to, the use of:
- Content Generation and SEO Optimization.
- Image and Video Modification and Generation.
- Voice-to-Text Transcription and Text-to-Voice Rendering.
3. Principles of Responsible GenAI Use
QQD is committed to using GenAI ethically and responsibly. Our guiding principles are:
-
Transparency: We will be transparent with our clients about our use of GenAI tools and the extent to which these tools are utilized in their projects. We do use GenAI tools throughout the Quantum Quill Digital website, but they are never used to mislead or misinform website visitors.
-
Accuracy and Quality: We will ensure that GenAI outputs are reviewed and edited by human experts to ensure accuracy, factual correctness, and alignment with client expectations.
-
Originality and Copyright: We will respect intellectual property rights and avoid using GenAI to create content that infringes on existing copyrights. We will strive to generate original and unique content.
-
Data Privacy and Security: We will handle data used in conjunction with GenAI tools responsibly and in accordance with our Privacy Policy and relevant data protection regulations. We will prevent GenAI from training on our interactions with it where ever possible. We also acknowledge that preventing GenAI from training on website content is likely not in our best interests or the best interests of our clients as it will likely affect ability to appear in search going forward.
-
Bias Mitigation: We acknowledge that GenAI tools can sometimes reflect or amplify biases present in the data they are trained on. We will actively work to mitigate these biases through careful selection of tools, data sets, and human oversight.
-
Human Oversight: GenAI will only be used as a tool to enhance human creativity and efficiency, not to replace it. Human judgment and expertise will remain critical to our creative and decision-making processes. Our guiding philosophy is to "augment" people not "replace" people.
