Tracking Publishers' AI Policies

Rating legend

  • SH = Strictly Human

    Use only when a publisher clearly prohibits generative AI in creative/editorial content, including writing, editing, illustration, or production.

  • H+AI = Human + AI

    Use when a publisher emphasizes human creativity but allows AI in some workflows, including selective generative or operational uses.

  • AI+H = AI-Assisted / Human Reviewed

    Use when AI-generated content is permitted if reviewed, edited, approved, or disclosed by humans.

  • AI = AI-Generated Allowed

    Use when substantially AI-generated creative works are allowed.

  • UNK = Unknown / No Clear Policy

    Use when the public page does not provide enough information to classify the policy.

H+AI · Human + AIConfidence: High

Penguin Random House UK

  • States that Penguin champions human creativity.
  • States it has used AI for a decade or more in areas such as forecasting and stock management.
  • States it will use generative AI tools selectively and responsibly.

Human-led policy, but not AI-free.

SH · Strictly HumanConfidence: Medium-High

Microcosm Publishing

  • Listed AI policy: Human-created work only; no AI use allowed.
  • Reported policy says Microcosm tries not to publish content generated or edited using generative AI.

Official Microcosm page was not directly accessible through the browser tool, so confidence is kept below High unless manually verified.
