Rules for using AI
Mandatory editorial review: All AI-generated content is subject to editorial review. InfoLight.UA considers such content as unverified source material. The final professional control and responsibility for the content created by AI in whole or in part lies with a human.
Content labeling: Images generated by artificial intelligence are necessarily labeled.
News voiceover: When voicing content, InfoLight.UA does not use a synthesized voice that would try to duplicate the voice of a real person, except for voices created based on the voices of our team members.
Text transcription: AI is used to automate the transcription of texts from videos, but editors must proofread them for literacy and relevance to what the speaker said.
Formation of headlines and SEO blocks: Editors can use AI suggestions, but priority is given to their own creativity and originality.
Creating entertainment content: If you create tests or similar content that may contain an interpretation of psychological problems, add a disclaimer about the need to consult a specialist.
