AI in journalism — the UK hub

Artificial intelligence touches every part of journalism now — how newsrooms work, what you must disclose, a growing beat in its own right, and a new toolkit. This hub pulls together our UK guidance in one place.

The rule under it all: AI is a tool, not a source. Verify what it produces, be transparent with readers about how you used it, and never publish AI-generated facts, quotes or images without checking them and disclosing them where it matters.
