AI Use Guidelines
These guidelines outline our approach to the responsible, transparent, and ethical use of artificial intelligence (AI) in content creation. They exist to maintain audience trust, uphold editorial integrity, and ensure accountability for all content published on this Website whether created in whole or in part with the assistance of AI tools.
These guidelines apply to:
- All content published on www.amplifythenoise.com, including text, images, audio, and video, where AI tools are used for assistance or generation
- All staff, contributors, freelancers, contractors, and third-party service providers engaged by us
- All stages of content production, including research, drafting, editing, fact-checking, publishing, and post-publication review and correction
Definition of AI Tools
For the purposes of these guidelines, “AI tools” refers to software or systems that generate, transform, summarise, or analyse content using machine learning or artificial intelligence technologies.
Human Oversight & Accountability
All AI-assisted content must be reviewed by a human editor or a nominated responsible person prior to publication.
AI tools may be used to assist with tasks such as idea generation, research support, drafting assistance, or image creation. However, AI must not replace human judgment, editorial decision-making, verification, or accountability.
Amplify The Noise remains fully responsible for all published content, regardless of whether AI tools were used in its creation.
Accuracy, Reliability & Verification
AI output is not treated as authoritative.
- Any factual claims produced or assisted by AI must be independently verified by a human
- Sources must be reviewed, documented, and checked for accuracy
- AI-generated suggestions are treated with caution due to known risks of hallucination, bias, and inaccuracy
Where AI assists in summarising or analysing information, the underlying source material must be reviewed directly.
Bias, Fairness & Ethics
We recognise that AI systems may reflect or amplify bias present in their training data.
We take reasonable steps to:
- Identify and mitigate bias in AI-assisted content
- Avoid reinforcing stereotypes or harmful narratives
- Ensure fair, respectful, and responsible coverage
Transparency & Disclosure
When AI has materially contributed to published content, such as generating substantial portions of text or images, we will clearly disclose this to readers.
Disclosures may include statements such as:
“This article used AI tools to assist with initial drafting and/or image generation.”
Minor or purely assistive uses (such as brainstorming or internal editing support) may not require public disclosure, but internal records of AI use should be maintained where appropriate.
Copyright & Intellectual Property
We do not knowingly use AI tools in ways that infringe copyright or intellectual property rights.
AI-assisted content must:
- Respect existing copyrights and licences
- Avoid reproducing identifiable proprietary or copyrighted material without permission
Prohibited Uses of AI
We do not use AI tools to:
- Impersonate individuals or organisations
- Create deceptive, misleading, or fabricated content presented as fact
- Generate content intended to mislead readers about authorship or authenticity
Corrections & Ongoing Review
If errors are identified in AI-assisted content, we will:
- Promptly review and correct the content
- Clearly acknowledge significant corrections where appropriate
These guidelines may be updated as AI technologies, industry standards, and legal expectations evolve.
