The Case Against AI Use Disclosure | Dr. James Hutson | #46

Описание: In this episode, we sit down with James Hutson, Ph.D., to discuss his provocative new book, The Case Against Disclosure: Defending Creative Autonomy in the Age of AI. Hutson takes aim at the growing push for transparency mandates in creative and scholarly work—rules requiring writers, coders, researchers, and artists to disclose how and when they've used AI tools. Far from being neutral safeguards, he argues, these mandates risk turning transparency into a mechanism of control, reinforcing outdated myths of originality while burdening creators with unnecessary bureaucracy.

Hutson makes a forceful case that authorship should rest on accountability for the final work, not exhaustive documentation of process. Through sharp legal analysis, historical perspective, and timely case studies, The Case Against Disclosure reframes the debate on authenticity, originality, and creative freedom in the AI era.
