Use of artificial intelligence

What we use it for
Spotting topics of local interest in public sources, ranking priorities and preparing summaries and drafts that an editor reviews.
What we do not use it for
AI does not decide what is published, does not invent quotes or data and does not draft sensitive topics. No article is published without a person's approval.
How we disclose it
Articles whose draft was prepared with AI say so next to the byline, naming the model used.
Data
The process works with public information. We do not send readers' personal data to the models.
