The Sunrise State uses artificial intelligence as a tool, never as a substitute for human judgement.

What we use AI for

• Research assistance, transcription, and summarising public documents.
• Data analysis and open-source intelligence (OSINT) workflows.
• Drafting support and copy-editing, always under human review.

What we will not do

• We do not publish AI-generated text as original reporting without a human journalist verifying, editing, and taking responsibility for it.
• We do not present AI-generated or AI-altered images or video as authentic news imagery. Any synthetic illustration is clearly labelled.
• We do not let AI make editorial or fact-checking decisions unsupervised.

Accountability

Every article carries a human byline. The named journalist and editor are accountable for its accuracy, regardless of the tools used in its production.
