On Artificial Intelligence
My AI Statement
I do not use artificial intelligence (AI)-based tools of any kind to create book indexes. I respect client privacy and confidentiality and do not upload or share client materials with AI without client permission. In addition, I turn off AI suggestions in any software I use to view client manuscripts, such as Microsoft Word and my PDF reader (other than grammar and spell check).
Indexing and AI
During a time in which questions on AI dominate conversations about the future of publishing, the American Society for Indexing (ASI) has begun to provide some answers when it comes to indexing. You can read their white paper, "LLM-Generated Indexes: Can they Replace Professionally Created Indexes?" see ASI statement on AI, recommendations for authors, editors, and publishers, and other AI-related information here.
