AI Editorial Policy & Transparency
Last Updated
Nov 19, 2025
Get Indiana is committed to transparency and maintaining reader trust while embracing new technology. This policy outlines how we use Artificial Intelligence (AI) in our content creation process and the human oversight we maintain to ensure quality and accountability.
1. Commitment to Transparency
We believe in fully disclosing the role of AI in our content production. We utilize AI to draft, summarize, and assist in generating articles to ensure timely coverage of local Indiana news and events.
2. The Role of AI in Content Creation
The Site uses generative AI tools (specifically, Large Language Models) in the following capacities:
Initial Drafting: AI is used to create the first-pass text for a significant percentage of our articles based on human-provided data, sources, and detailed prompts.
Summarization and Formatting: AI assists in summarizing complex information and structuring articles for readability.
Image Generation: In cases where original photography is unavailable, AI may be used to generate accompanying conceptual images, which will be clearly labeled.
3. Human Oversight and Accountability (The Core Standard)
All content published on Get Indiana, regardless of AI involvement, is the ultimate responsibility of a human editor. The following human checks are mandatory for all content created using AI:
Review and Fact-Checking: Every AI-generated draft is reviewed by a human editor to verify key facts, names, dates, and locations. The editor corrects any errors, biases, or "hallucinations" (false statements) produced by the AI.
Editorial Judgment: Human editors make all final decisions regarding the content's angle, tone, and suitability for publication.
Legal & Ethical Review: Human editors ensure the content adheres to our ethical standards, avoids plagiarism, and complies with all applicable laws.
4. Disclosure Standards
To ensure transparency, we adhere to a Two-Pronged Disclosure System:
Disclosure Type | Location | Purpose |
On-Page Notice (Mandatory) | Near the author byline or at the footer of the article. | Provides immediate context to the reader. |
Site-Wide Policy | This dedicated AI Editorial Policy page. | Provides comprehensive detail on our process, standards, and commitment. |
Example On-Page Disclosure:
“This article was generated using an AI language model based on editorial prompts and was rigorously reviewed, edited, and fact-checked by a human editor before publication.”
5. Limitations and Disclaimers
No Authorship: AI models are tools, not authors. We do not attribute authorship to any AI tool, as AI cannot take legal or moral responsibility for the content.
Accuracy: We do not warrant the complete accuracy or reliability of AI-generated components. Readers should exercise their own judgment and verify critical information.
6. Policy Review
We are committed to continuously evaluating the safe, ethical, and responsible use of AI. This policy will be reviewed and updated regularly as AI technology and industry standards evolve.
