Overview

Most brands want to ensure that AI-generated content aligns with their communication style. 

But this requires a good grasp of how the chosen AI technology works. Add to that, you need to have the right processes that are led by expert human oversight. 

The challenge, of course, lies in using AI to scale content production while at the same time, maintaining the authenticity and quality.  

However, with the right mix of tools and workflows, brands can align AI-generated content with their values and communication style. 

What I Think

Creating content that connects with your audience is challenging enough — even without AI. But, when you add AI into the mix, it definitely adds some complexity. 

Many brands are struggling to balance the efficiency that AI offers with the quality they want to maintain in their content. 

This can be counterbalanced with thoughtful planning, though. 

When you use the right AI tools for the job and you match that with processes that include human oversight for quality assurance, you will be more satisfied with the results.

The attention to detail during the initial setup of an AI tool is one of the most important steps.  

You’ll first need to input clear guidelines, prompts and content examples into the AI system.  

Ensuring this process is led by creative teams helps bridge the gap between the technology and the quality of content output. 

Once you’ve got it dialed in, regular reviews of the AI training process, the editorial workflow and the AI output helps to ensure that the content continues to meet expectations. 

Deep Dive: Upholding Authenticity in AI-Generated Content

Integrating AI into content creation can work with the right process. Here are some ideas.

Establish the Brand Voice

In order to maintain the authenticity and quality of AI content, you need to start with a clear understanding of your brand’s voice and tone. 

Document all the characteristics that define your brand’s communication style, including the tone, style and target audience. 

These guidelines will serve as the foundational framework for training the AI system. Without this step, AI outputs can be generic and disconnected from your brand identity.

Choose the Best Tools, Then Train the Models

There are many AI tools on the market today. Selecting the right tools that offer customization and the ability to scale can be important to getting the results you want. 

Start by feeding the system with brand guidelines, in addition to examples of past successful content to help train the AI model. 

Include diverse examples so that the tool can handle various types of content formats, which can expand its versatility. 

Always Use Human Oversight

Don’t neglect the human oversight aspect during the content creation process to ensure quality and relevance. 

While AI can automate parts of the content creation process, like generating outlines, conducting initial research and even generating drafts, human editors refine outputs to align with the brand and audience expectations. 

This collaboration between technology and human creativity ensures the final product is on target. 

Monitor and Refine

Consider evaluations at regular intervals to identify areas for improvement in the AI content you’re producing. 

For example, you can establish a feedback loop to refine the AI training and output. 

This might look like gathering input from internal teams and/or external audiences. Aim to extract insights into how well the content aligns with brand values or how well it resonates with the target audience. 

You can then use this feedback to inform adjustments to AI configurations and even guidelines.  

Then, monitoring performance metrics related to AI-generated content is another important practice. Track engagement and even sentiment to help guide decisions.  

Stay Updated

Staying updated on AI technology definitely takes effort but it allows businesses to leverage new features and capabilities as they emerge. 

So explore the latest tools and techniques to enhance the effectiveness of your AI-generated content. 

You might also collaborate with AI experts and regularly revisit your strategies to ensure your brand stays ahead of the curve.
