AI Language and Style Guide

How we talk about ourselves: On social media to our warm audiences (for example, our social media followers) we should say ‘we’, ‘our’ or ‘us’ wherever we can. So instead of saying: The George Institute prioritises research into better treatments, better care, and healthier societies. Or: The @georgeinstitute prioritises research into better treatments, better care, and healthier societies. We’d say: We prioritise our research into better treatments, better care, and healthier societies. An exception to this is when we promote or target our content to cold audiences, for example, through paid ads or boosted posts. We should then refer to ourselves as The George Institute. We never refer to ourselves as 'The George’ or ‘TGI’ externally. We rarely refer to ourselves as The George Institute for Global Health except on press releases and formal documents.
