Our AI Policy

We use artificial intelligence to work faster and sharper. We never let it publish alone. Here is exactly how that works.

How We Use AI

AI is a tool in our newsroom, operated by our dedicated AI Desk. We use it in four areas:

  • Research support: scanning large document sets, press releases and datasets to surface relevant material for journalists faster.
  • Drafts: first drafts of data-heavy stories, such as registration analyses and market roundups, which editors then verify and rewrite.
  • Translations: machine-assisted translation of regional sources into English, always checked by a human editor before publication.
  • Data preparation: cleaning, structuring and validating the datasets behind our Markets desk.

What AI Never Does

AI never publishes alone. No article, analysis or data note reaches readers without a named human editor who has reviewed it and takes responsibility for it. AI does not interview sources, make editorial decisions about what to cover, or decide that a story is ready — those are always human calls.

Mandatory Human Review

Every AI-assisted element passes a documented editor review before publication: facts and figures are checked against their sources, language is corrected, and the editorial judgment of the desk editor applies. The reviewing editor is recorded with the story in our internal system.

Source Traceability

If AI helped produce a story, every core claim still meets our two-source rule, and we can show you exactly where each figure comes from. When a story was substantially drafted or translated with AI assistance, the article carries a short note saying so — no hidden automation.

Quality Score

Each story receives an internal quality score that covers sourcing strength, fact-checking depth and editorial review completeness. Stories below the publication threshold are sent back to the desk before they go live. We publish aggregate quality statistics in our transparency reports so you can see how the system performs over time.

Our Promise

You are reading human journalism, supported by machines — never machine output wearing a human name. If that ever changes, we will tell you here before it happens.
