How we use AI

Some of our stories are drafted with AI tools. We tell you so, because you should know how what you read was made.

What AI does

AI tools help us turn gathered source material into a first draft, suggest headlines and summaries, and write short descriptions for search results.

What people do

People decide which topics we cover and what is published. Drafts are checked against the source material, claims we cannot confirm are marked for checking or removed, and nothing goes live without passing our quality checks, which include limits on copying from sources.

Limits

• We do not present AI-written text as a first-hand eye-witness account.
• We do not publish AI-generated images as photographs of real events. If we use a generated illustration, we say so.
• We do not paste your personal data into AI tools. Newsletter emails are never sent to them.

Mistakes

AI tools can get things wrong. If you spot an error, tell us. See our corrections policy.
