At X1 Media, we are committed to our mission of delivering impactful, accurate, and trustworthy reporting to our community. We recognize ongoing technological advancements, including artificial intelligence (AI), and its impact on the journalism industry.
As part of our transparency standards, below is our statement on the use of AI for our content:
- All reporting, research, interviews are conducted exclusively by our reporters and editorial staff. The use of AI for topic generation, reporting or original content is prohibited.
- Our writers are allowed to use AI-assisted tools, including OpenAI, solely for limited editorial purposes, such as spell-check, and improving article clarity and organization to meet Associated Press stylebook standards.
- Any article that used AI-assisted editing will include a disclosure at the bottom of the article with the following language: “Artificial intelligence tools were used to assist with editing and clarity. Reporting and final editorial decisions were made by the author.“
We recognize that AI tools can make errors. All content is reviewed by our editorial team to ensure accuracy, fairness, and compliance with our journalistic standards. Responsibility for published content rests solely with X1 Media.
Artificial Intelligence is used to enhance clarity, accuracy, and efficiency, and not replace reporting, ethical judgment, or newsroom integrity. Transparency with our readers is important to maintaining trust.
