How we use AI

We use AI tools to cover more local news than a small team could alone. This page explains how, and where the limits are.

What AI does

• Monitors official announcements and local media and groups reports about the same event.
• Writes short news articles from the facts in those sources, in its own words, and lists the sources under each article.
• Translates articles into our other languages. AI translations are marked until an editor has reviewed them.

What AI does not do

• It does not add facts, figures or quotes that are not in the sources.
• It does not publish stories about crime, accidents, courts, health, safety, law or money on its own. An editor checks them first.
• It does not publish low-risk news based on a single media report: a second outlet or an official source must confirm it.
