Economist proposes labeling AI-generated slides and writing: 'it implies less care and oversight'
paulnovosad · x · 2026-09-09
Economist Paul Novosad shares his practice of adding an AI icon whenever he uses genAI in presenting or writing. His argument: using AI is fine as long as you don't misrepresent that it implies less care and oversight — like saying 'don't cite without verification.' He questions institutional use of undisclosed genAI slides like 'it's not a campaign—it's a conversation': does anyone notice, or care?
