How we use AI
Last updated
Capital Wire is a human newsroom. Editors and reporters decide what to cover, what to publish and what to correct. We use machine assistance in parts of production the way many newsrooms use research tools and drafting aids. The product is journalism reviewed by people, not an automated feed.
The principle
A human editor is accountable for every published article, whatever tools helped produce the draft. Software does not set the news agenda, invent market-moving facts, attribute quotes, or press the publish button.
Where assistance may be used
Machine assistance may help the desk with tasks such as:
- Monitoring registered sources and surfacing filings or disclosures for editors to assess
- Extracting structured facts from a document so an editor can check them against the original
- Proposing a first draft of routine, formulaic items such as a market close summary
- Producing a counterpart draft in Arabic or English after the story has already been edited in the other language
- Flagging unsupported claims or formatting issues before final review
Where it is not used
We do not publish unreviewed machine output. We do not present machine-generated text as the unaided work of a named journalist. We do not use models to originate prices, quotes, regulatory findings or other market-moving claims without a human check against a primary source.
Disclosure
Where a machine drafted or translated substantial parts of an article, the byline or article labels say so. Where an image was generated rather than photographed or supplied by a rights holder, the caption says so. These labels are applied by the publishing process, not left to discretion.
Readers and trust
If you want the full editorial standard, read the editorial policy and the source policy. This page only answers where automation sits inside that standard — as support for editors, not as a substitute for them.
