Transparency
AI Content Policy
Last updated: 2026
Fainaron uses artificial intelligence tools as part of its editorial workflow. We believe AI \u2014 used carefully and transparently \u2014 makes journalism faster, more accurate, and more accessible. This policy explains exactly where, how, and why we use AI, and the human safeguards we have in place.
1. Where we use AI
- Summarisation of long source documents into clear, factual lead paragraphs.
- Drafting assistance for explanatory sections in technology, business, and how-to guides.
- Editing support \u2014 grammar, readability, and structural suggestions.
- Headline and SEO metadata generation, reviewed and approved by a human editor.
- Image generation for illustrative headers when no rights-cleared photograph is available; AI imagery is never used to depict real people in fabricated situations.
- Source clustering and trend detection to help editors prioritise stories.
2. Where we do NOT use AI
- We do not fabricate quotes, sources, or eyewitness accounts.
- We do not generate fake images of real people or real events.
- We do not use AI to write opinion or commentary attributed to a human author.
- We do not publish AI-generated content that has not been reviewed by a human editor.
3. Human review process
Every article published on Fainaron \u2014 regardless of whether AI assisted in its drafting \u2014 is reviewed by a human editor against our five-stage validation pipeline before going live:
- Factual verification against the primary source.
- Plagiarism and originality check.
- Tone, neutrality, and editorial-policy compliance.
- SEO and readability polish.
- Final editor sign-off by an authorised member of the newsroom.
4. Accuracy standards
AI tools can produce confident-sounding errors. We mitigate this with:
- Strict prompt-engineering policies that constrain AI to only the facts present in the cited source.
- Mandatory source-link inclusion in every AI-drafted piece.
- Manual fact-checks on every numeric claim, name, and date before publication.
- Public corrections (with timestamps) when errors are found post-publication.
5. Disclosure
We disclose AI involvement at the platform level (this policy and our About page) rather than on every article, because every article on Fainaron follows the same AI-assisted, human-reviewed workflow. Where an article uses AI in ways that go beyond this baseline (e.g., a fully generated illustration), we label it inline.
6. Editorial oversight
Our editor-in-chief is accountable for everything published, including AI-assisted content. The newsroom retains the authority to override or discard any AI suggestion, and editorial integrity always takes precedence over speed or volume.
7. Reader rights
If you encounter content on Fainaron that appears inaccurate, fabricated, or misleading, please email news@fainaron.com. We review every report within five business days.
