AI Disclosure

How we use AI

AI-assisted, human-reviewed. Here is what that actually means.

Why we disclose

Readers deserve to know how the work in front of them was produced. Many publications now use AI tools — for research, drafting, translation, fact-checking, or copy editing — but few say so clearly. We do. This page is the source of truth for how AI fits into our editorial process.

Where we use AI

We use large language models (currently GPT-class systems) for the following tasks: research-summary drafting, headline ideation, structural outlining, grammar and copy editing, image alt-text drafting, internal-link suggestion, and tag/category classification. The first draft of many articles is AI-assisted.

Where we do not use AI

AI does not make the final editorial call on what we publish. AI does not approve corrections. AI does not author opinion pieces under a human's name. AI does not generate quotes attributed to real people. AI does not fabricate sources. When something is wrong, a human is responsible.

The human review step

Every published article on The Stack Stories has been read end-to-end by a human editor before going live. The reviewer checks for factual accuracy, source attribution, narrative coherence, and tone. The editor has final authority to rewrite, reject, or revise any AI-drafted material before publication.

Authorship and bylines

All editorial articles are attributed to 'The Stack Stories Editorial' — our in-house team. We chose a transparent collective byline over invented personal bylines so accountability sits with the publication. Guest contributions from real, named experts are clearly labelled with that author's real identity.

Sources and citations

When an article relies on a primary source — a study, a filing, a public statement, a dataset — we link to it. When an article uses AI to summarize a body of public reporting, the editor's job is to confirm the underlying claims against the original sources before publication.

Corrections

If we get something wrong, write to corrections@thestackstories.com. We correct errors transparently — the page is updated, the change noted, and the URL preserved.

Limits and ongoing review

AI tooling evolves quickly. This disclosure reflects our current practice and will be updated as our workflow changes. The most recent revision is dated below.
