AI Content Policy

Last updated: 01/01/2024

At News Tension, accessible from https://newstension.com, we recognize the growing role of artificial intelligence (AI) in journalism and content creation. This AI Content Policy outlines our principles and practices for using AI-generated content, ensuring transparency, accuracy, and editorial integrity.

1. Use of AI in Content Creation

News Tension may use AI tools to assist with certain aspects of content creation, including but not limited to:

  • Research and data analysis: AI may be used to gather and analyze data for articles.
  • Content drafting: AI may assist in generating initial drafts or summaries of news stories.
  • Grammar and style checks: AI tools may help improve the readability, grammar, and style of our content.

2. Human Oversight and Editorial Review

All AI-generated content undergoes thorough human oversight and editorial review before publication. Our editorial team reviews AI-assisted content for:

  • Accuracy: Verifying the information to ensure factual correctness.
  • Context and nuance: Ensuring the content maintains appropriate context and reflects diverse perspectives.
  • Quality and tone: Checking for readability, coherence, and adherence to our editorial standards.

3. Disclosure of AI-Generated Content

When AI plays a significant role in creating content, we disclose this to our readers. Articles that are substantially generated or assisted by AI tools will include a statement indicating the use of AI in the content creation process.

4. Limitations of AI-Generated Content

While AI can assist in content creation, it has limitations. AI-generated content may:

  • Lack the depth or nuanced understanding of complex topics.
  • Reflect biases present in the data used to train AI models.
  • Miss cultural, ethical, or social nuances that human writers are better equipped to handle.

News Tension strives to address these limitations through careful editorial oversight.

5. Ethical Use of AI

We are committed to ethical practices in AI content generation. This includes:

  • Avoiding misinformation: We do not use AI to generate content that intentionally spreads false or misleading information.
  • Protecting privacy: We do not use AI tools to collect or analyze personal data without consent.
  • Transparency: We are open about the role of AI in our content production.

6. AI and User-Generated Content

News Tension does not use AI tools to edit, manipulate, or alter user-generated content (such as comments or guest submissions) beyond standard moderation for compliance with our community guidelines.

7. Continuous Improvement

We continuously evaluate the role of AI in our content creation processes to ensure that it aligns with our editorial standards and ethical principles. As AI technology evolves, we will update our practices and this policy accordingly.

8. Feedback and Concerns

We welcome feedback regarding our use of AI in content creation. If you have any concerns or questions about AI-generated content on News Tension, please contact us at:
