I've been seeing AI usage creep into our community theater just a little bit around the edges over the last year, and I would like us to have a no-AI policy, so yesterday I started the ball rolling on that during our monthly board meeting.
I actually made an attempt to play politics well for once, and instead of griping about AI, I proposed we form a working group to survey what other community theaters are doing with AI policies. I figured that would go over better with the other board members than starting the conversation at no.
I also knew that the board member who is most vociferously anti-AI would get agitated as soon as the topic came up. He indeed started yelling about it. No one else volunteered to join my working group, so I recruited him to help. I think his outbursts made me look much more reasonable, and looking reasonable seems to be important currency on the board.
Anyhow, now I'm in the driver's seat of putting together an AI policy, and I've got a very anti-AI board member helping me, so I'm feeling optimistic.
