Official Statement on AI: Bio-DIVE-rsity does not use generative AI for the generation of any of its productions. While I acknowledge that some music and artwork was used in some promotional content when generative AI was new to the market, I believe strongly in the importance of artistic integrity and credit to human artists who make our experiences on this blue planet so much richer.
