Protect client information
Do not paste confidential or personal data into tools without the right settings and the client's agreement. Anonymise when possible.
Be transparent
Explain in your terms that you use AI tools to assist your work, that you review everything and that you are responsible for the result.
Avoid scams and fake promises
Stay away from offers that promise guaranteed income, pay-to-work platforms, mass-produced spam content, fake reviews or reselling shared accounts.
Write simple client terms
Cover scope, revisions, deadlines, payment, use of AI tools, confidentiality and ownership of the final work.
Example
A clause on AI use
"We use AI tools to assist research and drafting. All work is reviewed and edited by us before delivery, and we remain responsible for its quality. We do not enter your confidential information into tools that may use it for training."
