AI policy
We use automation heavily, and we would rather tell you exactly how than let you guess. A machine can help us find and draft. It cannot decide what is true.
1. Where AI is used
AI may assist with research, summarisation, drafting, classification, creative production, translation, derivative content and monitoring.
2. Where responsibility sits
Automation does not remove editorial responsibility. High-impact claims, comparisons, pricing and recommendations require human verification under our editorial workflow before publication. A named human is accountable for every published piece.
3. Automated product pages
At launch, some Stack pages may be generated through structured automation. Where they are, they use verified source data, disclose commercial relationships where relevant, and are maintained through scheduled refresh checks.
4. Synthetic media
AI-generated or materially altered imagery and video is never presented in a way that misleadingly implies it is documentary evidence of a real event.
5. Community moderation
Where community features are enabled, automated systems may assist with classification, spam and abuse detection, moderation triage, duplicate detection, summarisation and expert matching. Consequential account sanctions and ambiguous moderation decisions remain subject to human review — see the community guidelines.
6. What this means for you
If we publish a claim, a human checked it. If we get it wrong anyway, we correct it in the open — see corrections.
