Our Statement on AI Use

At Story Arc Learning, our mission is to transform learning through the power of story. We believe storytelling is a uniquely human science and craft, rooted in empathy, creativity, and deep understanding. These aspects of storytelling cannot be authentically replicated by generative AI tools. While we recognize the potential of AI to create efficiency in specific tasks, we intentionally limit its use to preserve the integrity and human-centered essence of our work. We also consider the sensitive nature of our client’s content and respect their intellectual property by avoiding using generative AI tools that may infringe on copyright and privacy issues.

We allow content writers, designers, and developers to use generative AI tools in limited, support-focused roles where human creativity and decision-making remain central. In any use, we ensure content is secure and protected, and that our clients' intellectual property is protected.These approved uses include:

• Voiceover Production: When explicitly approved by our clients, AI-generated voiceovers may be used to streamline narration for learning products.
• Captions and Transcripts: AI may be used to generate or enhance captions and transcripts to improve accessibility and learner experience. 
• Course Summary Development: AI tools may assist in creating high-level summaries of course content, based on finalized, human-authored materials.

To ensure our work remains grounded in authentic storytelling, generative AI tools may not be used for:

• Scriptwriting: All scripts are written by humans to reflect our expertise as storytellers, the narrative intent of the information, and the clearly defined learning goals.
• Content Development: The authenticity and creativity of story-driven content are core to our storytelling methodology and require human empathy, insight, nuance, and intentionality. This includes, but is not limited to, learning objectives, scenarios, storyboards, scene development, and slide generation. 
• Image or Graphic Generation: We do not use AI to create visual assets, as we believe in working with artists and designers to bring meaningful visuals to life that reflect our story-first approach. We do not condone the use of imagery that is generated from, or an evolution of, an artist’s work without their explicit consent. We exclusively use paid stock imagery, media, or graphics, or create our own custom-designed materials.

By restricting AI use to clearly defined, non-creative functions, we uphold our commitment to learner-centered, authentic, and empathy-driven design. Our approach ensures that every course we deliver tells a compelling story, crafted by people, for people.
