HOW WE USE AI

Transparent use of artificial intelligence in CloudPath journalism.

CloudPath Tech uses artificial intelligence to support parts of its news discovery, drafting, classification, metadata and illustration workflow.

AI is not treated as an independent source of truth. Published reporting must remain connected to identifiable source material and pass defined validation rules before publication.

Editorial Standards About CloudPath

CORE PRINCIPLE

AI can assist the publishing process. It cannot replace evidence.

Sources must remain identifiable

Facts must come from supplied material

Restricted pages must be rejected

Material errors must be corrected

WHERE AI IS USED

AI supports several stages of our workflow

Different automated tools may assist with discovery, organisation and presentation. Their output remains subject to source and quality controls.

01 — DISCOVERY

Finding relevant developments

Automated systems may analyse public-interest signals, trending searches and available news references to identify technology stories worth evaluating.

02 — SELECTION

Ranking potential stories

AI may help estimate topical relevance, freshness, source quality, public interest and the practical value of a potential article.

03 — DRAFTING

Creating an original article draft

Language models may transform supplied source material into an original English-language article with a headline, introduction, headings and explanatory context.

04 — CLASSIFICATION

Organising coverage

AI may suggest the most appropriate editorial category, keywords, summary and article angle based on the supplied material.

05 — SEO METADATA

Preparing structured information

Automated tools may create an SEO title, meta description, URL slug, focus keyword and secondary keywords for a published article.

06 — ILLUSTRATION

Creating conceptual imagery

Generative image systems may create editorial illustrations representing the subject, consequence or conflict described in a story.

SOURCE GROUNDING

AI-generated text must remain grounded in identifiable material.

The source publication, organisation or original reporting page remains the factual foundation of a CloudPath article. Artificial intelligence is instructed to work only from the supplied title, summary and retrieved source text.

The model is instructed not to invent quotations, statistics, dates, product specifications, events or claims that are not supported by the available material.

Each published article includes visible attribution and a direct link to the original source when a valid URL is available.

GROUNDING RULES

Generated articles should not add:

× Fabricated quotations

× Unsupported numbers or statistics

× Invented dates or events

× Unverified technical specifications

× Claims based only on model memory

AUTOMATED SAFEGUARDS

Not every generated draft is eligible for publication.

CloudPath uses technical checks intended to reject articles that fail minimum quality, source or accessibility requirements.

Quality controls are built into the publishing workflow.

Validation rules may assess whether required article fields are present, whether the article length is within an accepted range and whether the generated output contains valid structured data.

Source pages are checked for signs of access denial, CAPTCHA challenges, security verification, automated-traffic warnings, subscription restrictions and other responses that do not contain usable journalism.

Stories that fail these checks may be rejected and recorded as errors rather than repeatedly returned to the publication queue.

LIMITATIONS

Artificial intelligence can make mistakes

Automated systems may misunderstand source material, omit context, produce inaccurate wording or fail to recognise that a page is inaccessible.

Hallucination

A model may generate a plausible-sounding detail that is not supported by the source.

Missing context

An automated summary may omit qualifications, uncertainty or background needed to understand a claim correctly.

Source confusion

A system may incorrectly treat navigation text, a verification screen or a subscription prompt as article content.

Overconfidence

Generated wording may sound more certain than the available evidence justifies.

Outdated knowledge

A model’s internal knowledge may be incomplete or outdated and must not replace current source material.

Visual ambiguity

A generated image may represent a concept rather than the real people, products or location involved in a story.

EDITORIAL ILLUSTRATIONS

Generated images are conceptual, not documentary evidence.

Many CloudPath article images are created with generative image technology. They are designed to communicate the subject, tension or consequence of a news story through an editorial visual metaphor.

Unless explicitly stated otherwise, these images should not be understood as photographs of the actual event, product, person or location described in the article.

IMAGE RULES

Our image prompts are designed to avoid:

Recognisable company logos and trademarks

Readable fake interface text

Misleading documentary presentation

Copyrighted characters or branded products

Irrelevant stock-photo or futuristic clichés

RESPONSIBILITY

CloudPath remains responsible for what it publishes.

The use of artificial intelligence does not transfer responsibility to a software provider, model developer or original reporting source.

Readers can report possible AI-related errors.

Concerns may include an unsupported claim, inaccurate summary, misleading headline, incorrect attribution, broken source link or an illustration that could be misunderstood.

Reports should identify the article and explain the specific concern. Material errors will be reviewed and corrected where appropriate.

Report an Error Corrections Policy

POLICY REVIEW

Our use of AI will evolve as the technology changes.

This policy may be updated when CloudPath adopts new tools, modifies its publishing workflow or introduces additional safeguards.
