AI & Editorial Policy

At AI News Wales, we use artificial intelligence (AI) tools to support parts of our editorial and content production process. We believe in being transparent about how AI is used while maintaining human oversight and editorial responsibility for everything we publish.

1. How we use AI

AI tools may be used to assist with:

  • researching and gathering information;
  • generating initial article drafts;
  • summarising publicly available information;
  • improving grammar, structure and readability;
  • generating ideas, headlines and content outlines;
  • creating or enhancing visual content and illustrations.

AI is used as a supporting tool, not as a replacement for human editorial judgement.

2. Human editorial review

All articles generated or assisted by AI are reviewed by a human before publication. Our editorial process may include:

  • checking facts and sources;
  • reviewing claims and context;
  • correcting inaccuracies;
  • editing and rewriting AI-generated text;
  • assessing whether information is relevant and appropriate for publication;
  • making the final decision about whether content is published.

AI News Wales takes responsibility for the final editorial content published on the website.

3. AI-generated images and visual content

Some images, illustrations or other visual content published on AI News Wales may be generated or enhanced using AI.

Where AI-generated or manipulated visual content is subject to applicable transparency requirements, we will provide an appropriate disclosure or label.

AI-generated visuals may be used for illustrative or creative purposes and should not automatically be interpreted as authentic photographs of real events, people or places.

4. Accuracy and corrections

While we make reasonable efforts to verify information before publication, AI-assisted content can contain errors or outdated information.

We encourage readers to contact us if they identify a factual error or misleading information. Where appropriate, we will review and correct published content.

5. Sources and attribution

Where appropriate, our articles reference or link to the original sources of information.

AI tools may assist with research or drafting, but they are not considered authoritative sources. Important factual claims are reviewed against reliable sources before publication where reasonably possible.

6. Transparency

We aim to provide clear and meaningful information about the use of AI on AI News Wales.

Our use of AI is intended to support efficient content creation while preserving human editorial oversight, accountability and journalistic integrity.

Where applicable law requires specific disclosure of AI-generated or manipulated content, AI News Wales will take appropriate steps to provide that disclosure.

7. Responsible use of AI

We aim to use AI responsibly and in accordance with applicable laws and regulations, including relevant requirements of the EU Artificial Intelligence Act (EU AI Act) and applicable data protection legislation.

This policy may be updated as our use of AI evolves and as applicable regulatory requirements develop.

8. Contact
