Artificial Intelligence (AI) Policy

The robots are not coming for your LEGO…

In the interest of transparency and to further the important discussion about the long-term role of AI technologies in our society, I have added an AI Policy section to our About page. As always, we would love to hear your thoughts about our approach, or additional AI technologies we should consider that align with our goals and values. The following is an excerpt of our Artificial Intelligence Policy.

Here at Brick Architect, we take pride in creating in-depth LEGO content that is written by humans, for humans. We also recognize that a number of Artifical Intelligence (AI) technologies can help us create better content.

Our Goal: Even with the introduction of advanced generative AI built on neural network architectures (such as ChatGPT), we will continue to write our own stories and complement them with great photography. If we decide to include AI-generated images or text in future articles, they will be clearly marked.

We are currently using AI technology in the following ways:

  • Image Editing
  • Text Editing
  • Summarization
  • Translation
  • Transcription

Lastly, as more and more content from around the web is replaced with AI generated content, we aim to continue offering rigorously researched articles written by humans. We’ve always include links to source material when appropriate, but we will make a greater effort to include more citations to reputable sources that help us write the best content possible.

As always, we would love to hear your thoughts about our approach, or additional AI technologies we should consider that align with our goals and values.

    Thanks for the great article on Generative AI. Very informative. It will be interesting to follow where AI generated LEGO goes in the future.

    It’s great to see such a transparent policy, clearly thought through, and delivered ahead of many other content driven businesses and blogs. I use ChatGPT for work, and using some of the tools mentioned above has increased my output significantly (especially when correcting my atrocious grammar). But like you, I think the ethical considerations are as important, and getting to grips with those is difficult, so it’s refreshing to see here…also, given the speed this thing is travelling at, any policy at any organisation has will likely need almost monthly updates (if they have one at all). An interesting 12-24 months to follow!
