Use of Artificial Intelligence 1. Permitted use. (Choose one.) (a) Writer will not use generative artificial intelligence tools to research, draft, or edit the Deliverables. (b) Writer may use generative artificial intelligence tools only for [research / outlining / proofreading]. Writer will not use such tools to generate text included in the Deliverables.
