Hank Green announced a new AI usage policy for his education company Complexly in a video posted on August 7, 2026. The video followed his public remarks about over-reliance on large language models and came as part of a broader discussion about AI in content creation. In the video, Green said that no one at Complexly is using artificial intelligence to produce Crash Course videos, and he outlined personal guidelines for his own AI use, urging other creators to adopt similar standards. The policy aims to preserve editorial independence and ensure that educational content remains based on human‑crafted research, though it does not constitute a formal industry mandate.
