Civil Beat Announces Artificial Intelligence Policy
Civil Beat has announced its new policy, which limits the use of artificial intelligence to background tasks such as transcription and data analysis.
The Civil Beat newsroom has publicly released its official policy defining the boundaries for the use of artificial intelligence. According to the policy, AI will only be used for background tasks, while its use in writing news articles and creating visuals is strictly prohibited.
According to the new rules announced by Civil Beat, artificial intelligence is limited to background tasks such as transcribing audio and video recordings, assisting with computer programming for data analysis, and scraping information from public websites. The policy explicitly prohibits the use of AI tools for writing news copy, generating photographs, or altering existing photos.
While emphasizing that creative work remains the responsibility of journalists, the policy mandates that AI-assisted research and data analysis must be meticulously verified by reporters. Furthermore, content creators are required to disclose the use of AI in their work, and the use of AI-generated content or altered images in community contributions is not permitted.
