The writers and editors of Food Safety News recognize the importance of keeping pace with technological innovations. At the same time, we are committed to providing human-centered journalism on food safety topics to a global audience. We use artificial intelligence tools to help us conduct research, synthesize data and create graphics, illustrations or visual models. We do not use AI to write our stories or decide what stories we will or will not cover. We do not rely solely on AI to verify the facts behind the stories we report. We do not use AI-generated tools to alter journalistic photographs or to personalize content or manage data about our audience.
All uses of generative AI are reviewed and approved by a human before publication on FoodSafetyNews.com and in our newsletters. When we do use AI-generated images or visual representations, we will clearly disclose that to our readers.
Our writers and editors retain full responsibility for the accuracy, originality and quality of the work we present to our audience.
Recognizing that AI technology is rapidly changing, we are committed to regular review of these policies in an effort to be transparent with our audience while still benefiting from the advantages that accompany these changes.
