AI Disclosure

Every MASHMAN property follows the standard Mashman Consulting Group sets: artificial intelligence is the near equivalent of a spotter or personal trainer in the gym. It exists to empower, guide, and help, but not to do the heavy lifting of intellectual property creation, speaking cadence, or what would otherwise be human engagements. In personal branding especially, AI opens avenues for misrepresentation and disproportionate perception, which MASHMAN is wholly against. The firm's full position is in the MCG AI Disclosure (opens in a new tab).

How the Imprint Uses AI

Openly, in production, and never in authorship. Mashman Publishing uses modern tools to produce the full suite of formats faster while keeping the editorial bar where it was:

• Audiobooks. AI narration and voice cloning can produce an audiobook in a fraction of the studio time, including in a voice modeled on the author’s own. A voice is modeled on an author only with that author’s consent.
• Editing. Advanced editing tools support developmental editing, line editing, copyediting, and proofing. People make the editorial decisions; the tools catch what a tired eye misses.

What AI Does Not Do

AI does not write the books Mashman Publishing publishes or stand in for their authors. Covers, interiors, and other specialist work come from Certified Partners of Mashman Consulting Group.
