9. AI Editorial Guidelines
We are a company with a legacy of using new technologies to advance our journalism. But we are committed to the utmost journalistic integrity and accuracy. Any use of AI must adhere to ỊDEKỌ’s values and must not undermine the trust audiences have in our reporting. ỊDEKỌ AFRICA is responsible for the content it releases to the public, including anything produced with help from A.I. systems and tools.
A.I. may be used to review our content for spelling and grammar without attribution. A.I. may be used for machine translations, but must be reviewed for accuracy by editors before release.
We are transparent. We do not use A.l. to write scripts or articles; we consider it plagiarism to pass off such material as a reporter’s original work. You may use generative A.I. to research or develop content ideas for ỊDEKỌ Africa, but its use must be acknowledged in a credit, tagline or ender, or otherwise attributed in a script.
- Sample language: Generative Al was used to assist in researching this story.
A.I. may be used for voicing online scripts posted to websites in order to allow access by persons who are unable to read, provided that a human being retains full control over the journalistic content and that the use of synthetic voicing is acknowledged.
- Sample language: This report is narrated by generative Al
We do not use synthetic voices to impersonate or duplicate any individuals, including agency employees or public figures. This includes A.l.-generated content using an individual’s or employee’s likeness, image, and character.
