How we use AI
A model drafts the text. A person reviews, corrects and signs it — though not always before it goes up. Here is exactly where the line runs.
What the model does
A model searches the sources, drafts the summary and the analysis, and writes the first version in both languages. It also proposes the section, the tags, and the signal strength.
What a person does
A person can review any piece: check the figures against the primary source, fix the language, and take responsibility for it. That review is not a precondition for publication — the daily pass publishes first and the review follows — so at any moment part of what stands here has not been through it yet. Which items those are is tracked in our system, not announced on the page.
What the model is never allowed to do
- Invent a figure, a date, or a quote. A number that cannot be checked is left out.
- Translate and republish someone else's article. That is reprinting, and no amount of crediting fixes it.
- Publish a correction on its own. Corrections are a human decision.
Why we say this out loud
Since August 2, 2026, European rules require AI-assisted content on matters of public interest to be labeled unless it passed substantive human editorial review with named responsibility. We label every piece, without leaning on that exception, because a reader deserves to know how what they are reading came to exist.
A model writes the text under the site's editorial rules. Originals are never translated or reprinted.
