Our Ethics Policy

Ethics Policy

Welcome to AI Chronicle. Our mission is to deliver cutting-edge news and insights in the world of Artificial Intelligence. We believe that to do this responsibly, we must adhere to the highest standards of journalistic integrity.

Our audience's trust is our most important asset. This policy outlines our commitment to accuracy, fairness, independence, and transparency in all our reporting.

1. Our Core Principles

Accuracy and Verification

We are committed to the truth. Our team rigorously fact-checks all information before publication. We strive to:

  • Use primary sources whenever possible.
  • Verify claims with multiple independent sources.
  • Clearly cite and link to our sources so readers can verify information for themselves.
  • Present data and technical information with precision and context.

Independence and Impartiality

Our coverage is not for sale. We maintain full editorial independence from the companies, institutions, and individuals we cover.

  • Our reporting is not influenced by advertisers, investors, or corporate partners.
  • Our writers and editors are prohibited from accepting gifts or compensation in exchange for coverage.
  • Any potential conflicts of interest (such as a personal investment in a company being covered) will be clearly disclosed to our editors and, when relevant, to our readers.

Fairness and Sourcing

We believe in representing all sides of a story fairly and accurately.

  • We seek to provide ample opportunity for the subjects of our reporting to comment.
  • We treat our sources and subjects with respect.
  • We grant anonymity to sources only when we believe they are providing critical information and that their safety or livelihood would be at risk, and we will explain the reason for the anonymity to our readers.

Transparency

We are open and honest with our readers.

  • We clearly distinguish between factual reporting, analysis, opinion pieces, and sponsored content (if any).
  • We will not use deceptive headlines or "clickbait."
  • We are transparent about our ownership and funding.

2. Our Policy on Using AI

As a publication focused on AI, we believe it is doubly important to be transparent about our own use of this technology.

Our guiding principle is that AI is a tool, not a replacement for human judgment. All content published on www.thaichronicle.eu is ultimately vetted, edited, and approved by our human editorial team.

Here are our specific commitments:

  • Human Oversight: We do not publish articles that are fully generated and written by AI. We may use AI-powered tools for research assistance, spelling/grammar checks, or to suggest headlines, but the final editorial responsibility rests entirely with our human writers and editors.
  • Fact-Checking: We do not rely on Large Language Models (LLMs) or other AI tools as a primary source for facts. All information, especially if suggested by an AI, is independently verified against reliable primary sources.
  • AI-Generated Media: Any images, video, or audio that are significantly generated or altered by AI will be clearly and explicitly labeled as such. We will not use AI-generated media to mislead our audience into believing it is a real photograph or recording.
  • Attribution: If an AI tool provides a unique contribution to a story beyond simple editing (e.g., complex data analysis that forms the basis of a report), we will disclose its use.

3. Corrections Policy

We own our mistakes. If we publish an error, we are committed to correcting it promptly, clearly, and transparently.

  • Significant factual errors will be corrected within the body of the article.
  • A correction note will be added to the top or bottom of the article explaining what was corrected and when.
  • If you spot an error, please let us know.

4. Accountability

We are accountable to you, our readers. If you believe we have failed to meet the standards outlined in this policy or have any concerns about our coverage, please contact us directly.
