No AI (artificial intelligence)—either generative or otherwise—is used in either the writing, editing, or artwork in any publication by Thom Bedford. Everything created across all works associated with this author is done so by a human, including all text and images. Contributors are credited on the copyright pages of respective books and on the website.

Thom Bedford expressly prohibits any company, software, or person from using any of the author’s publications—or any of the artwork contained within—for the purpose of training AI technologies to generate text or imagery. The author also reserves all rights to license all of their publications for training generative AI applications or large language models, for which they have no plans to do so.

I am very grateful to have had the opportunity to collaborate with some amazing artists, beta readers, editors, and other professionals, and I believe that good art can only be created by a human. Please be assured that all em-dashes and semicolons you see in my books are written with intention.

Thank you for supporting genuine art.
