AI Policy

All published articles are written by named human journalists. AI tools are not used to generate article copy, opening paragraphs, headlines, or excerpts. If a sentence appears in an Air Gazette article, a human on our team wrote it.

AI tools may be used internally to assist with document search, data compilation across long source materials, and summarization for the journalist's reference. Every output is verified against primary sources before it informs an article.

AI is never used as a single source. If a fact only appears in an AI response and not in a primary document we can cite, it doesn't appear in our reporting.

Grammar, spell-check, and consistency tools — including AI-assisted ones — may be used during editing. They never replace editorial judgment. Final calls on framing, structure, and emphasis stay with human editors.

Every article displays the real name of the journalist responsible for it. We don't use composite, pseudonymous, or AI-attributed bylines. Author profiles include links to professional pages (LinkedIn, etc.) so readers can verify who wrote what.

We do not use AI-generated images as primary visuals on news articles. Charts and data visualizations may be produced with software tools (including AI assistants) but the underlying data is sourced from public filings, contracts, or our own reporting.

If we ever publish content where AI played a substantive role beyond the limits described above, we will mark it explicitly at the top of the article. So far, we have not done so.
