Qstage may use artificial-intelligence tools to support parts of newsroom production, but responsibility for publication remains human.

Permitted assistance

Tools may help organize research, compare documents, transcribe material, suggest structure, translate working notes, or check formatting. Their output is treated as unverified until checked against the underlying record.

What we do not permit

Qstage does not publish fabricated quotations, invented eyewitness accounts, or synthetic evidence. We do not use a model as the sole source for a factual claim. Photorealistic synthetic imagery will not be presented as documentary photography.

Verification

Every factual briefing must be checked against attributable source material before publication. The article links to its primary source so readers can inspect the same record. If automated assistance contributes to an error, the normal corrections policy still applies.

Accountability

AI does not receive a byline. Qstage Newsroom is accountable for the headline, framing, facts, and corrections in every published briefing.
