AI disclosure
Updated October 18, 2026
AI tools help with some research and drafting chores. People make every editorial decision.
We may use AI to
- Summarize long official documents so an editor can find the relevant rule.
- Suggest outlines or rough first drafts that a person then rewrites.
- Catch typos and awkward sentences.
We never use AI to
- Supply facts. Every fact is checked against a source a person has read.
- Create images of real people or invent quotes and experiences.
- Publish anything without human review.
