GWN Tech Committee | AI Statement Follow Up Survey

Girls Write Now AI Survey | Committee on Intersectional Voices in Technology

Girls Write Now is developing a statement on AI: how we use it, what it inspires, what we protect, and where we draw lines. It will live on our website, guide our programs and staff, support our partnerships, and serve as a resource for the broader field.

As Tech Committee members dedicated to the advancement of Girls Write Now, you are poised to help us build it. We began the discussion in our last meeting, and this survey aims to capture your salient points and continue the dialogue.

It should take you about 5-10 minutes to complete. Thank you for your valuable time and input!

SECTION 1: OPENING INTENTION

In one sentence, what do you most want GWN’s AI statement to say?

SECTION 2: THEMES FROM THE CONVERSATION

At our last Tech Committee meeting, several themes came up organically. We want to know what landed for you.

Which of the following felt most important? Select up to 3.

Is there a theme you feel is important and not captured above? What is it?

SECTION 3: PERSPECTIVES FROM THE FIELD

Is there a quote, article, report, or podcast episode in particular that you think is central to this effort, and will materially inform our thinking? Share a title or link if you have one.

SECTION 4: EXAMPLES FROM YOUR WORLD

Has your own organization, or one you admire, developed a public statement or principles around AI? If yes, would you be willing to share it?

What’s one thing you’ve seen organizations get wrong in how they talk about AI, language, framing, tone or something else, we should avoid?

SECTION 5: WHAT THE STATEMENT SHOULD SAY

Four values came out of our conversations as anchors for this statement.

For each, what questions might you have? What would you want to see answered (or addressed) in a statement?

Safety: Protecting our community, especially student writers, from harm in how AI is used, trained on, and deployed

Equity: Ensuring AI expands access and opportunity rather than deepening existing divides

Sustainability: Being honest about the environmental cost of AI and making intentional choices about when and how we use it

Inimitability: Preserving what makes human creative voice irreplaceable, and making choices such that AI doesn't substitute for it

Are there hardlines you think GWN should hold, things we should explicitly say we will not do with AI?

If you had to give our AI statement a working title, what would it be?

SECTION 6: TECH COMMITTEE COMMITMENT (required only for Tech Committee members)
