What Shapes Writers' Decisions to Disclose AI Use?

Have you ever read a blog or social media post and suspected that it was written–at least in part–by artificial intelligence (AI)? While transparently acknowledging contributors to writing is generally valued, why some writers choose to disclose or withhold AI involvement remains unclear. In this work, we ask what factors shape writers’ decisions to disclose their AI use as a starting point to effectively advocate for transparency. To shed light on this question, we synthesize study findings and theoretical frameworks in human-AI interaction and behavioral science. Concretely, we identify and curate a list of factors that could affect writers’ decisions regarding disclosure for human-AI co-created content.
