AMPLIFY's AI Policy

At AMPLIFY Afghan Women, we appreciate the temptation to use Artificial Intelligence (AI) in creating work. However, as an education and publication organisation, we want to foster academic development and avoid cognitive offload. Hence, we implore participants too avoid using AI. Given our ethos to foster local knowledge, we think it would be antithetical to allow rampant use of AI which often does not well encapsulate the experiences of people in the Global South. 

From September 2025, AMPLIFY will:

• Not publish AI generated images 

• Not publish AI generated written content 

• Not publish AI generated videos. 

If you have used AI, we would prefer you to be honest and tell us so we can work with you to learn other skills. 

We also note that many people, who English is not their first language feel the pressure to use AI to make sure their English sounds better. However, we find that AI overly sanitises work and we would prefer you to send us work that is imperfect but that came from you. We have a team of editors that can help with English. 

Thanks for understanding!
