AI Content Policy
We use AI to help us report faster — always with human editors in the loop. Here’s exactly how, and where we draw the line.
What we use AI for
Some of our news coverage is drafted with the help of AI tools that synthesise reporting from multiple primary sources — official publisher blogs, patch notes, and established gaming outlets. AI helps us cover fast-moving news at scale, but it never has the final say on what publishes.
Human editorial oversight
Every AI-assisted article passes through automated quality, fact-check, originality and sourcing checks, and anything that falls short of our thresholds is routed to a human editor for review before it can go live. We do not auto-publish content that fails these checks. Editors can revise, hold, or delete any draft.
Accuracy & attribution
AI-assisted pieces attribute claims to their original sources and link out to them. We synthesise — we do not copy. Where a fact originates with a specific outlet or an official announcement, we say so and link to it. We never fabricate quotes, benchmarks, or first-hand testing we did not do.
Disclosure
We follow Google's guidance that the value of content is judged by its quality, not how it was produced — and that automation should be disclosed. Articles produced with AI assistance are edited by a named member of staff, and this policy is our standing disclosure of that workflow.
What stays fully human
Reviews, opinion, editorials, and investigative or first-hand coverage are written by our staff. Review scores and verdicts are always a human judgement.
