AI Content Policy

Statement of Intent

At Design Shifu, we support the responsible development and use of AI technologies. This policy defines how our content may be used by large language models (LLMs), AI developers, and AI-integrated platforms, balancing visibility with protection of intellectual property and user trust.

Definitions

  • LLM (Large Language Model): AI systems capable of generating text, such as ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini, etc.
  • Indexing: Reading and storing metadata or excerpts from content for response generation.
  • Training: Using content as part of a dataset to teach or fine-tune a model.
  • Transformative Use: Creating derivative works that significantly alter or build upon original content.

Allowed Uses

  • Crawling and indexing blog articles, glossary entries, and case studies for non-commercial knowledge representation.
  • Quoting or summarizing public content with proper attribution and a clickable link.

Prohibited Uses

  • Using gated, private, or sensitive content (e.g., pricing, dashboards, client areas).
  • Using Design Shifu content to train proprietary AI systems without written consent.
  • Storing, caching, or redistributing full pages or sections without transformation.
  • Monetizing content, data scraping, or creating derivative works that mimic our service without licensing.

Attribution Requirements

If AI systems quote, summarize, or surface our content, they must:

  • Clearly credit “Design Shifu”
  • Link to the original source page (where possible)
  • Avoid presenting Design Shifu’s content as the AI’s own response or opinion

Monitoring & Enforcement

We monitor LLM usage via known AI crawler user agents and regular audits of AI outputs. Unauthorized use of our content may result in:

  • Takedown requests
  • DMCA complaints
  • Legal action under copyright or data misuse laws
