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  • We do not publish AI-generated text as original reporting without a human journalist verifying, editing, and taking responsibility for it.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.
