AI use policy

How ICRR uses artificial intelligence

ICRR uses AI tools to help a small team research, write and maintain this website. AI assists our work; it does not replace human judgement. A named person at ICRR is responsible for everything we publish.

Where we use AI

  • Building the Published Reincarnation Cases Database (PRCDb). AI helps extract details from published case reports (names, dates, places, statements and how they were verified) and organize them into a structured database. The PRCDb is led by people: our researchers decide what goes in, and they review the extracted data against the original reports to our quality standards.
  • Drafting and checking Compendium entries. AI helps draft and expand entries from published sources, and helps us check entries against those sources for factual errors, missing citations and broken links. New AI-assisted entries are marked “Currently under review” until an editor has checked them against the sources. The editor is then named on the entry with an “Edited by” credit.
  • Research ideas. Our Comprehensive Reincarnation Theory project uses AI to help organize and compare hypotheses. These are working ideas for researchers to test, not findings.
  • The website, brand and editing. The ICRR website and brand were designed and built by people, from templates and designs made by hand. AI has since helped us enhance the site, and it now helps us maintain it. It also helps with copy-editing, translation checks and search descriptions.

Where we don’t use AI

  • We do not use AI to invent cases, quotations, statistics or sources. Every factual claim in the Compendium should trace to a cited source.
  • We do not use AI to decide a case’s status or strength. Those are editorial judgements made by people.
  • We do not use AI-generated images to depict real people, places or case evidence. The only AI-made images on the site are decorative icons.
  • We do not put members’ personal information or private messages into public AI tools.

Human review

AI can make mistakes, including confident-sounding errors and made-up references. That is why we check AI-assisted work against original sources before publishing, and why each reviewed Compendium entry names its editor. In October 2026 we checked all published Compendium entries against their sources and corrected the errors we found.

Corrections

If you find an error, please use “Suggest an edit” on the entry or contact us. We correct mistakes promptly.

Questions

If you have questions about how we use AI, please contact us. We review this policy as our use of AI changes.
