Artificial Intelligence Policy

1. Introduction

At *EU Reporter*, we embrace the use of artificial intelligence (AI) as a powerful tool to enhance journalism while maintaining our commitment to accuracy, integrity, and ethical reporting. AI enables us to work more efficiently, analyze data with greater depth, and improve audience engagement. However, our editorial team remains the final authority on all published content, ensuring that AI supports, rather than replaces, human judgment and journalistic principles. 

2. Justification for AI in Journalism

AI is transforming journalism worldwide, and its responsible application can strengthen the quality of reporting. We justify our use of AI based on the following key benefits: 

  • Enhanced Research & Data Analysis: AI tools help us process vast amounts of data, identify trends, and fact-check information more efficiently, allowing journalists to focus on in-depth storytelling. 
  • Content Optimization & Audience Engagement: AI-driven analytics allow us to tailor content to readers’ interests, improving engagement while maintaining editorial independence. 
  • Automation of Routine Tasks:  AI assists with transcription, summarization, and language translation, allowing our journalists to dedicate more time to investigative work and high-quality reporting. 
  • Combatting Disinformation: AI-powered verification tools help detect fake news, manipulated images, and misinformation, ensuring higher journalistic standards. 
  • Multilingual Reporting: AI translation and speech recognition allow us to reach broader audiences across Europe, making journalism more accessible. 

3. Editorial Oversight & Human Judgment

While AI plays a supportive role, *EU Reporter* ensures that: 

  • All AI-generated content is reviewed, fact-checked, and edited by human journalists before publication. 
  • AI does not replace investigative journalism but enhances the ability of reporters to gather, verify, and present information. 
  • Ethical considerations are applied, and AI is never used to fabricate stories, manipulate facts, or mislead audiences. 

4. Transparency & Accountability

To maintain trust with our audience, we commit to: 

  • Clearly disclosing when AI has been used in content generation, where appropriate. 
  • Ensuring that AI tools used in reporting comply with EU regulations, including the AI Act and GDPR. 
  • Avoiding bias by using AI tools that are trained on diverse, reputable sources. 

The responsible use of AI in journalism aligns with *EU Reporter’s* mission to provide high-quality, accurate, and accessible news. AI is a tool that enhances our ability to inform the public, but human editorial oversight remains central to our work. By combining technological innovation with journalistic integrity, *EU Reporter* continues to uphold the highest standards of reporting in the digital age.
