Creative work

I am an academic at the University of Sydney Law School. I primarily produce academic scholarship on my areas of research interest (international law, law of the sea, and environmental law). I also write opinion pieces and have been published in The Sydney Morning Herald, The Guardian and The Conversation.

Human authorship

ProudlyHuman reviewed the writer's application, declaration to adhere to de minimis use of AI, identity confirmation, and representative works before issuing this certification.

What this certification covers

I refuse to use AI in my work, except in very limited circumstances (e.g. in correcting formatting of references). I have never used and will never us AI to assist in the writing of substantive work. I am seeking Proudly Human certification so that I can model what I consider to be appropriate use of AI - namely zero use for creative work.
