AI disclosure
How AI may assist our work
AI tools may support research organization, drafting, editing, tagging, summaries, support workflows, and operational checks. Human accountability remains required for publication and business decisions.
Human responsibility
Editorial coverage is selected and reviewed by the CTE editorial team. Advertisers and sponsors do not receive undisclosed control over independent editorial decisions.
AI-assisted does not mean AI-owned, AI-approved, or automatically correct. People remain responsible for the final decision to publish, label, correct, remove, or escalate content.
Typical AI-assisted workflows
AI tools may help organize notes, summarize source material, generate first-pass drafts, classify content, improve accessibility text, find broken links, review consistency, or support customer-service and account workflows.
- AI output should be checked before public use.
- Factual claims, quotes, technical claims, legal claims, pricing, and safety-sensitive material require human review.
- AI should not be used to invent sources, fabricate endorsements, impersonate people, or hide sponsorship.
- When AI materially shapes a piece of content and disclosure would help the reader understand it, the site should disclose that use near the content or in the relevant policy page.
Restricted uses
AI tools should not make final eligibility, employment, credit, legal, medical, payment, editorial-rights, or account-enforcement decisions without appropriate human review and a clear audit path.
