Content for humans, created by humans We recognize that empathy and insight – uniquely human qualities – are just as important as raw data and information when creating insurance content.   We may use AI to provide inspiration for our writers and editors in the creation process.  If we use AI for inspiration, an experienced human editor will evaluate the value and accuracy of the AI’s product before we use it in any way.  Humans write, edit, and fact check every article we publish. We will never publish an article written by AI.
