AI & content policy

Where AI is used

• Monitoring and triaging source feeds for relevance to our coverage areas.
• Drafting summaries and reports from cited source material.
• Assisting with verification checks, sentiment classification and metadata.
• Producing clearly labelled illustrations where no licensed photograph is available.

Where AI is never used

• Inventing quotes, statistics, events, sources or attributions.
• Reproducing source text verbatim in place of original writing.
• Rewriting unfavourable facts to make a story read more positively.
• Publishing anything that fails our verification threshold.

Disclosure

Reports drafted with AI assistance carry a visible disclosure on the article page, alongside their source list. Illustrations that were machine-generated are labelled in the image caption and are never presented as documentary photographs of a real event.

Accountability

Automation does not remove editorial responsibility. Petro Stream Trading stands behind every published report, and editors can hold, amend or withdraw any story.
