WHAT WE'RE LOOKING FOR
- We are interested in poems that use AI technology in novel ways, and that merge human intention with digital automation. We're looking for poems written by humans, where AI tools have formed one part of the creative process.
- AI must have been used at some stage of your poem's composition, but not to the extent that the AI tool is responsible for all of the poem's ideas. The tools should be in the hands of human users, who are using them according to their human intentions.
- This may include using AI to disrupt a human-generated text, or a human poet editing an AI-generated text.
- We're particularly keen to see novel ways of using and misusing AI tools - be inventive!

HOW TO SUBMIT
- Submissions should be emailed to the editor at ailiteraryreview[at]gmail[dot]com.
- Send up to 3 unpublished poems in a single Word document, along with a brief author bio.
- All AI programmes used to inspire, generate, edit, glitch, or otherwise develop your poems must be named. A very brief, 3rd-person description of how AI was used in your work must be provided for each poem.
- Poems should not exceed 50 lines in length.
- We allow for simultaneous submissions - just notify us if your poems are accepted elsewhere.
THINGS TO NOTE
- Poems should avoid plagiarising any materials. All submissions will be checked for the reproduction of others' work. Given the nature of generative AI, we suggest you check your own work for plaigarism before submitting, and rework the text as needed. The more human intervention there in on your AI-generated text, the less likely accidental plaigarism is to occur.
- The editor will respond to each submission within 2 weeks of the submission window closing.
- Work in which AI has been used as a substitute for human effort, intentionality, or originality, will not be accepted.
- Submissions containing hate speech will be automatically rejected.
- Submissions received outside of submission windows may not recieve a timely response.
