The Robert H. N. Ho Family Foundation Global AI policy
In short
AI rules come from competitions ACLS runs with the foundation. For the Robert H. N. Ho Family Foundation Early Career competition in Buddhist Studies, applicants may use AI tools such as Claude or ChatGPT to write their application, must ensure content is factual and properly sourced, and are encouraged to say where and how they used AI. For the Global Buddhism Series, authors must disclose AI use in their manuscript under Yale University Press guidelines.
For applicants
- For the Early Career competition, applicants may use AI tools such as Claude or ChatGPT to write their application, but the named applicant is responsible for ensuring all content is factual and all sources are properly acknowledged.[1]
- Early Career applicants are encouraged to indicate in the application where and how they used AI assistance.[1]
- For the Global Buddhism Series, authors must disclose any use of AI tools for their manuscript at the time of application, following Yale University Press guidelines, and are fully responsible for the originality, accuracy, and integrity of their work.[2]
