The use of AI
At Conde Nast, original ideas and storytelling sit at the core of our work. Our audiences trust us to deliver quality content that is accurate, fair and distinctive. For this reason, Conde Nast teams do not rely on AI tools to create ideas and content.
AI can be a useful support tool, but your ideas and opinions must still be your own. We want your application to reflect your individual thinking. Generic AI-generated answers are easy for us to recognise and don't show your actual abilities. Please ensure your submission reflects your own authentic ideas, knowledge and experiences.
