AI Usage Policy

Our Principle

All articles published on FounderTrove are written, edited, and fact-checked by human journalists. AI tools are not used to generate article text that is published without human review and rewriting.

Permitted Uses of AI

  • Research assistance: AI tools may be used to surface publicly available information for a journalist to independently verify.
  • Grammar and style suggestions: Automated writing assistants may suggest grammar corrections, but all final editorial decisions rest with the human author.
  • Data processing: AI tools may be used to parse large datasets, which journalists then interpret and contextualise in their own words.
  • Summarisation for internal drafts: AI may generate internal draft summaries that journalists use as a starting point, subject to full rewrite and verification.

What We Do Not Do

  • We do not publish AI-generated text as original editorial content without substantial human rewriting.
  • We do not use AI to fabricate quotes, attribute statements to real people, or create synthetic sources.
  • We do not use AI-generated images to misrepresent real events or real people.

Disclosure

Where AI tools have contributed meaningfully to the production of a specific article, this will be disclosed at the foot of that article.
