AI policy

AI may assist production. A responsible human remains accountable for publication.

Policy reviewed

Assistance and verification

AI can support source monitoring, note organisation, drafts, headline variants, metadata and editorial checks. It must not invent sources, interviews, quotations, personal experience or evidence. A model’s answer is not a reporting source, and a second model’s approval does not replace checking the underlying document.

Illustrations

Editorial comic illustrations may be AI-assisted and carry “Illustration: Betting Tribune / AI-assisted”. They communicate an idea from the reporting and must not be presented as documentary photography or evidence that a depicted event happened. The supplied Betting Tribune logo is a separate approved asset.

People and responsibility

Interviews require an actual conversation or an attributable written response. AI cannot create a guest, quote or eyewitness account. The collective editorial byline identifies the desk responsible for the current edition; individual profiles are published only for verified contributors.
