This policy explains how the editorial staff of “Zakarpats’kyi Visnyk” uses artificial intelligence (AI) tools and where the line is drawn between the work of journalists and automation.
The main principle
The editorial team is responsible for every published piece. AI is a supporting tool and does not replace journalists: gathering information, fact-checking, selecting topics, editing, and decisions regarding publication are all made by people.
Why We Use AI
- Translation. The English and Hungarian versions of the site are created using the DeepL machine translation service. The Ukrainian version serves as the original source for each piece of content. Translations may contain inaccuracies, so a corresponding note is included below the translated content. The editorial team randomly checks translations and corrects errors reported by readers.
- Technical support: spell-checking, transcribing audio recordings, and preparing short descriptions for search engines and social media—always reviewed by an editor.
- Website maintenance: configuration, design, and content creation for administrative sections (e.g., event listings from the official websites of cultural institutions).
What We Don't Do
- We do not publish news articles generated entirely by AI without human review and editing;
- We do not use AI to create quotes, comments, or statements attributed to real people;
- We do not publish generated images or videos disguised as real photos of events. If an illustration was created using AI, we indicate this in the caption;
- We do not upload confidential source data or readers’ personal data to AI services.
Errors and Feedback
If you notice any inaccuracies, particularly in the translation, please email us at info@zakvisnyk.com.ua. We correct errors in accordance with our correction policy.
