Statement on the Use of AI

On the Use of Artificial Intelligence (AI) in Strikepod Products and Services

At Strikepod Systems, we believe in harnessing the power of emerging technologies, not only in the subjects we study, but also in how we conduct research, create content, and develop products. As such, we utilize advanced artificial intelligence tools, including OpenAI’s ChatGPT, as part of our internal workflow.

How AI is Used
AI serves as a collaborative tool to support and accelerate the creative and analytical process. Specifically, we use AI to:

• Brainstorm ideas and generate conceptual frameworks
• Summarize and synthesize complex academic or technical literature
• Refine and restructure language for clarity, precision, or stylistic tone
• Assist in outlining and drafting blog posts, research reports, or fictional vignettes
• Support ideation for wargames, speculative fiction, and scenario design

AI tools allow us to quickly explore alternative perspectives, iterate more efficiently, and work through analytic bottlenecks.

What AI Does Not Do
While AI contributes to the early stages of ideation and drafting, all final products are reviewed, revised, and approved by a human analyst. Judgment, context, nuance, and domain expertise remain at the core of everything we produce.

• AI does not determine analytic conclusions

• AI does not independently author any report or analysis

• AI does not make strategic or editorial decisions

• AI does not replace lived experience or informed intuition

Why We Use AI
The mission of Strikepod Systems is to provide unique, insightful, and forward-looking content that blends creativity with rigor. AI enables us to operate more efficiently while expanding the scope of what we can explore. It’s a force multiplier - helping us explore ideas faster, dig deeper into technical domains, and maintain a high standard of clarity and originality.

Our Philosophy
We view AI as a creative partner, not a replacement for human thought. Our work reflects a hybrid model, where emerging tools are leveraged to support human insight, not replace it. Transparency in how we use these tools is part of our broader commitment to intellectual integrity and open inquiry.

We welcome any questions or feedback about our use of AI and our commitment to maintaining the highest standards of quality, originality, and professional ethics.
