AI as Your Assistant, Not Your Author Ethical Editorial Workflows in Government

Video Description

Speaker: Amy Shropshire

AI tools like ChatGPT and Claude can speed up content development—but in the public sector, speed can’t come at the cost of accuracy, accessibility, or public trust. This session explores how to integrate AI into editorial workflows in a way that supports content creators without replacing them.

We’ll walk through real-world examples of how content strategists, editors, and marketers can responsibly use AI to support tasks like summarizing, plain language editing, tone shifting, and even headline generation. You’ll learn when to bring AI in (and when to keep it out), how to vet outputs for accuracy and bias, and how to maintain compliance with federal plain language and accessibility requirements.

Whether you’re exploring how to get started or trying to reign in overuse, this session offers a practical and ethical roadmap for AI-assisted content creation in government and beyond.

Key Takeaways:
Where AI can fit into a government-friendly content workflow—and where it shouldn’t.

How to use AI for drafting support, not decision-making, in editorial processes.

Practical tips for reviewing, editing, and vetting AI-generated content for public use.
