The use of Generative AI in content creation is becoming prevalent—which makes sense as it’s an undeniably powerful tool for developing text, images, and even video, supercharging both creativity and productivity. For marketers in particular, GenAI can help to efficiently produce copy, blog posts, social content, and more.
By some estimates, GenAI is already being utilized in about three quarters of marketing departments. But be aware such usage can be a double-edged sword, presenting a number of potential risks:
On this latter point, please note that many media outlets are implementing “no AI” policies for submitted content, such as in the case of guest-contributed bylined articles, opinion pieces, and blog posts. See one such policy example here.

Someday, protocols may arise out of technology advancements and legislation—but for now GenAI’s usage is something akin to the “Wild, Wild West.” Until then, with a clear usage policy, companies can more confidently harness GenAI’s power while safeguarding against the potential pitfalls.
