At WDIV, we are committed to informing and entertaining our viewers. In our commitment to covering our communities with innovation and excellence, we incorporate artificial intelligence (AI) technology to enhance our newsgathering, reporting, and presentation processes. This disclosure outlines our use of AI and our commitment to ethical standards, transparency, and accuracy.
How to use AI
Content creation and curation: We use AI to help generate news summaries, identify trending topics, and curate personalized content for our readers. AI algorithms analyze large amounts of information and highlight relevant news articles based on your interests.
Automatic report: Use AI to accurately and instantly report stories based on specific types of data, such as financial reports or sports results. These algorithms are designed to understand your data and turn it into easy-to-read articles. This content may be used to describe, caption, or comment on articles, videos, graphics and images. All automated reports are reviewed and edited before publication.
Fact checking and verification: In addition to the traditional rigorous measures journalists use to fact-check content, AI tools can help verify the authenticity of content such as images and videos. These help us identify potential misinformation and ensure the accuracy of the information we publish.
Reader participation: AI improves your experience on our website, including chatbots for customer service inquiries and algorithms that recommend articles tailored to your personal reading habits.
our commitment
Transparency: We are transparent about the use of AI and its role in the news production process. AI can help with efficiency and accuracy, but the final editorial decisions will always be made by journalists.
Ethical considerations: We adhere to strict ethical guidelines when using AI to ensure it is used responsibly and does not compromise journalistic integrity or bias in reporting.
Data protection: We prioritize the privacy and security of our readers. Personal data used to train our AI algorithms and personalize content will be treated strictly in accordance with our Privacy Policy.
Accuracy and accountability: Our editorial team monitors and reviews all AI-generated content to maintain high standards of accuracy and trustworthiness. We promise to correct any mistakes and be responsible for the content we publish.
Anthropomorphizing AI: It does not anthropomorphize AI. While it may be tempting and interesting to ascribe human characteristics to her AI, such a practice can be confusing and inadvertently attribute unwarranted advantages to artificial entities.
continuous evaluation
We continually evaluate our use of AI technology to ensure it aligns with our mission to inform and delight our community and uphold the standards of trust that our community gives us. We welcome feedback from our readers and are committed to adjusting our operations to better serve you.
