AI colophon
MishMash studies creative uses of AI — and uses AI, openly, in making this website. This page declares how, so that readers and partners never have to guess whether AI was involved.
Where AI contributes
- Content. AI assistance is used for drafting and adapting texts, including the reading-level variants on adaptive pages and entries in the glossary. Editors review and revise before anything is published.
- Code and automation. Much of the site’s tooling — the sync scripts that pull data from NVA, ORCID, and Wikipedia, the theme switcher, the adaptive-content machinery, quality checks — is developed with AI assistance, visible in the repository’s commit history through
Co-Authored-Bytrailers. - Translation. Machine translation is used between English and Norwegian, and is marked as such on the pages concerned.
The numbers
Of the 938 changes (commits) made to this website so far, 62 were made with AI assistance — the first on 2026-06-09. Counted automatically from the public repository on 2026-07-04; anyone can verify the history.
Our commitments
- Humans are responsible. AI output is reviewed before it goes live. Errors are ours, not the machine’s.
- Nothing is hidden. AI involvement is declared here, marked on translated pages, and traceable in the open commit history.
- It is an experiment. Building our own communication channel with AI is part of MishMash’s research practice — a way to create, explore, and reflect on the tools we study. What we learn feeds back into the centre’s research and teaching.
