AI Notice for BedfordshireTimes.co.uk

At BedfordshireTimes.co.uk, we are committed to delivering high-quality, accurate, and timely news to our readers. To enhance our journalistic capabilities and improve our content delivery, we have begun incorporating Artificial Intelligence (AI) tools into our editorial processes. This notice aims to inform our readers about how we use AI and our commitment to responsible AI practices.

How We Use AI

We employ AI technologies in various aspects of our news production and content creation:

  1. Content Generation: AI assists our journalists in drafting initial versions of certain articles, particularly for data-heavy topics like financial reports or sports statistics.
  2. Research and Data Analysis: AI tools help us process large volumes of data quickly, identifying trends and insights that inform our reporting.
  3. Content Optimisation: We use AI to improve headline writing, article summarisation, and content recommendations for our readers.
  4. Fact-Checking: AI aids in cross-referencing information against reliable sources to enhance the accuracy of our reporting.

Our Commitment to Journalistic Integrity

While AI plays a role in our content creation process, we maintain a firm commitment to journalistic integrity:

  1. Human Oversight: All AI-generated content undergoes review and editing by our experienced journalists before publication.
  2. Transparency: We strive to be transparent about our use of AI. When AI has played a significant role in content creation, we will indicate this in the article.
  3. Accuracy and Fairness: Our editorial standards remain unchanged. All content, whether AI-assisted or not, adheres to our high standards of accuracy, fairness, and impartiality.
  4. Ethical Use: We are committed to using AI in ways that align with journalistic ethics and respect our readers' trust.

Data Protection and Privacy

Our use of AI adheres to our comprehensive privacy policy:

  1. We do not use personal data in our AI systems beyond what is outlined in our main privacy policy.
  2. AI-generated content is subject to the same data protection and privacy standards as all our other content.

Continuous Improvement

As AI technology evolves, we will continue to evaluate and refine our use of these tools. We welcome feedback from our readers and remain committed to transparency in our AI practices.

For more detailed information about how we handle your personal data, please refer to our full Privacy Policy.

If you have any questions or concerns about our use of AI, please contact us at [email protected].
