At AIG News, we are committed to delivering reliable, accurate, and trustworthy news to our readers. As part of this commitment, we have established a comprehensive fact-checking policy that leverages the power of artificial intelligence (AI) while acknowledging its limitations.
Policy:
- Fact-Checking Process: All news articles, claims, or pieces of information will undergo a thorough fact-checking process. This process involves cross-referencing with reliable sources, consulting with experts in the relevant field, and using AI technology to manage large amounts of data quickly and accurately.
- AI Assistance: Our fact-checking process is supported by AI technology. The AI assists in flagging potential misinformation and organizes data to streamline the fact-checking process. It also helps in accessing vast amounts of information from the internet, which expands our capability to cross-check facts. However, the final decision on the veracity of information will always involve human judgment.
- AI Limitations: We acknowledge the limitations of AI technology. AI can aid in data processing and pattern recognition, but it lacks the human capacity for critical thinking, nuance, and contextual understanding. AI-generated content can sometimes be inaccurate, misleading, or biased, especially if the underlying data it has been trained on is flawed.
- Truthfulness Ranking System: We utilize a five-tier truthfulness ranking system (Confirmed True, Mostly True, Mixed, Mostly False, Confirmed False) to categorize the accuracy of information. An additional category, Under Review, is used for claims still under investigation or without sufficient evidence for a verdict.
- Transparency: We are committed to transparency in our fact-checking process. We will provide explanations for our verdicts and where possible, link back to our sources, so readers can understand how we arrived at our conclusions.
- Continuous Improvement: We will continuously update and improve our fact-checking procedures and AI technology based on feedback, new technological advancements, and best practices in the industry.
By implementing this fact-checking policy, we aim to provide our readers with accurate, trustworthy news while combating the spread of misinformation. We appreciate your trust in AIG News and will continue to work diligently to uphold it.
