Clarifying Our AI Usage Policy
- Our AI policy emphasizes human authorship in all content
- AI tools are integral to enhancing, not replacing, our work
- Transparency and oversight guide our use of AI in reporting
Earlier this year, we pledged to provide a clear, reader-focused explanation of how we utilize generative AI at our publication. After careful consideration and refinement, our AI policy is now available for all to read.
Our stance is rooted in the belief that while AI can assist professionals, it cannot supplant human creativity or insight. Consequently, we have established strict guidelines that prohibit AI from taking on roles such as authorship or content creation. Instead, these tools are to enhance the work of our dedicated team.
In summary, all reporting, analysis, and commentary is conducted by humans, and each editorial decision is made under expert supervision. Our policy also details our methods for managing text, research, source attribution, imagery, audio, and video.
