The Ethical Concerns of AI-Generated Content in SEO
AI-generated content has skyrocketed over the past year, but one of the biggest questions when using Artificial Intelligence (AI) is ensuring you meet ethical concerns.
AI-generated content is created by artificial intelligence, along with machine learning algorithms. Even those these tools can churn out content, it still requires human input to create blogs, articles, images, and more..
The AI-generated content market is set to increase by trillions over the next ten years, due to exponential growth. This growth is due to:
There are a number of ethical concerns you need to be aware of when it comes to creating AI-generated content:
One of the ethical concerns of AI-generated content is sharing harmful content. This is content that promotes misinformation or violence, it's discriminatory and can be harmful to your audience. This means your AI-generated content needs to be monitored to reduce the risk of sharing harmful content.
AI-generative tools are as good as the information you feed them and the data used to train the algorithm. AI models are bias due to the data they are trained on, which can be discriminatory to certain groups.
A major issue with AI-generated content is inaccuracy. Sharing content generated by artificial intelligence means checking for any inaccuracies, as this can spread misinformation, influencing public opinion and affecting decisions.
Plagiarism, whether unintentional or deliberate, is a serious ethical concern when it comes to content generated by artificial intelligence. Remember AI is designed to augment, not replace humans. When the AI tool is guided properly and fully supervised, you can reduce the risk of it reproducing existing content.
These days businesses need to have proper user data handling and consent management guidelines in place. If you use personal customer information to create your AI-generated content, it can quickly become an ethical problem, going against data privacy regulations.
There are ethical concerns surrounding who owns AI-generated content. Is it your business that is using it, or the company that owns the AI tool? Ethical concerns can arise when there is confusion regarding the ownership of AI-generated content.
