AI statement

I do not use any AI tools in my work

Here's why:

• AI tools are based on people’s work without their consent.
• AI tools are trained to avoid harmful content by “data workers” who have to look through harmful, trauma-inducing text and images.
• AI tools have a considerable climate cost, both through their energy use and the energy required to make the hardware for AI servers.
• Entering client information in AI tools such as ChatGPT effectively means releasing this information in the public domain.

And finally: AI tools generate erroneous content while creating a false sense of authority and creativity.
I have decades of experience doing research. I use reliable sources such as academic and grey literature that people have consented to be published. I research, analyse, think and design effective solutions for your challenges. This is the value I add to your work.
