Our principles
- 1. People are accountable. AJP editors decide what is published and answer for every story, whatever tools were used to
prepare it. - 2. Facts come from reporting. Our journalists find data, check it against original sources and verify it. AI does not supply
facts, figures or quotes on its own authority. - 3. AI is a tool, not an author. We use it where it saves time without replacing judgment.
- 4. Readers are told. Content published without human editing is clearly labeled.
What AI does and what our journalists do
AI assists with: compiling information from verified material, sorting and organizing data, structuring drafts,
factboxes and timelines, and producing first-pass translations.
Our journalists and editors: choose what to cover, find and verify data, conduct interviews and field reporting, filter AI
output, rewrite, edit and proofread, and approve publication.

AJP Meet interviews and AJP On-site experiences are conducted in person by our reporters; AI may help transcribe and
organize notes, but it does not stand in for the reporting.
Translation
- AI Pick: articles from Aju Business Daily, our Korean sister paper, are machine-translated from Korean and published
without human rewriting. Each carries a notice that it is an automated translation and links to the original article. - All other sections: translation, from Korean or any other language, may begin with AI assistance, but editors check the
translation against the original, rewrite it for clarity and accuracy, and proofread it. - Faithfulness: we keep the meaning, strength and attribution of the original. Quotes are translated as said, without
making them stronger or softer. - Names and terms: we follow AJP's style guide for names, titles, companies and currencies.
Partner and contributor content
Stories, analysis and opinion from partner organizations and contributors follow the same rules.
