Medium is banning AI-generated content from its paid Partner program, notifying users that the new policy goes into effect on May 1, 2024.
"We are writing to notify you of policy updates that may impact your participation in the Medium Partner Program," the blogging platform noted in an email seen by BleepingComputer.
Medium clarified that it understands AI can help make some writing clearer or assist those writing in a second language, but writing content purely through AI is no longer allowed.
"We recently defined and clarified our specific policies around the different uses of Al-generated content and technologies, and what is allowed in the Medium Partner Program. You can read those policies in our Help Center."
Medium already had language in its guidelines stating that fully AI-generated stories are restricted from distribution beyond the writer's personal network on Medium.
With the banning of AI-generated content from the Paid Partner program, Medium has further cracked down on distributing this type of content.
