AI USAGE POLICY
Effective Date: March 2025
At C-VILLE Weekly, we are committed to transparency in our editorial practices and the responsible use of technology. This policy outlines our approach to artificial intelligence (AI) in our newsroom and business operations.
- No Use of Generative AI in Content Creation C-VILLE Weekly does not use generative AI tools to create editorial content, including news articles, opinion pieces, or other published materials. All our reporting is conducted by human journalists to maintain the highest standards of accuracy, accountability, and journalistic integrity.
- AI-Assisted Transcription We utilize AI-powered transcription tools to assist in converting audio recordings of interviews, meetings, and events into text. However, all transcriptions are reviewed and verified by our editorial team to ensure accuracy and context before publication or internal use.
- Commitment to Human Oversight AI tools used in our workflow serve as aids, not replacements, for human judgment. Every piece of content published by C-VILLE Weekly undergoes rigorous fact-checking, editing, and review by our team to uphold journalistic standards.
- Protection of Privacy and Data When using AI-powered tools, we take steps to protect the privacy of our sources and comply with all applicable data protection laws. We do not share confidential or sensitive information with AI platforms that store or process data beyond our control.
- Future AI Adoption We remain open to evaluating new AI technologies that may enhance efficiency while maintaining our editorial integrity. Any future use of AI in content production or newsroom processes will be carefully assessed and transparently communicated to our readers.
