Put your own AI-use policy into a short client statement and a line for your terms

The problem

The 2026 survey shows copywriters are split: 74% use generative AI, 35% are obliged to by a client, colleague or employer and 64% would erase it. Clients increasingly ask what you do, and a vague answer under pressure helps nobody. Whatever your policy is, including using no AI at all, the statement should say it plainly. AI can word the policy you give it as a short client statement and a line for your terms. It does not decide your policy, whether it meets a client's contract or what the law says about AI-assisted work: you decide, and a solicitor checks the terms.

What AI does

AI turns the AI-use policy you have already decided into a short statement for clients, a sentence for your terms of business, and a brief answer to the question. It does not decide or change your policy, and your solicitor checks the line for your terms.

Time

The steps, in short

1. Decide your own policy first, and make sure it is true in practice.
2. Check your client contracts for anything on AI use or confidentiality.
3. Have AI draft the statement, the terms line and a short answer.
4. Remove any claim you can't always stand behind, and have your solicitor check the terms line.

A short sample prompt

Here is my policy on using AI in my copywriting work, in my own words: [policy]. Turn it into a short statement for clients, a sentence for my terms of business, and a brief spoken answer if asked. Do not change or add to my policy.
