Bloodhound's AI Statement

As technological innovation accelerates at an unprecedented pace, Bloodhound Books recognises the profound influence artificial intelligence (AI) is having across industries, including publishing. We believe it is essential to engage thoughtfully with these developments, to assess both their opportunities and their potential risks, in service of our authors, readers, and the creative process.

AI has long been woven into our digital lives, from everyday tools like spellcheckers to search engine prediction. While many of these innovations have delivered meaningful efficiencies, our approach to AI must be rooted in our identity as a publisher: one that champions original voices, human imagination, and the authentic stories. Our guiding principle is clear: human creativity is irreplaceable.

At Bloodhound Books, we are steadfast in our commitment to protecting the intellectual property of our writers. We are however, committed to exploring how new tools might support the publishing process. With a critical and cautious eye, we will continue to examine how AI might enhance our workflows and publishing methodologies.

Any integration of AI into our operations will be carried out responsibly, selectively, and always in alignment with our values. To remain relevant and resilient in an evolving industry, we must adapt. We believe it is possible to harness the benefits of AI while ensuring our authors remain protected and supported. Copyright must be the foundation upon which ethical AI development is built, fuelling innovation without undermining the individuals who create the content it relies upon.

At Bloodhound Books, our future with AI will be one of careful collaboration; driven by curiosity, guided by ethics, and anchored by an unwavering respect for creativity.
