Artificial intelligence is a part of daily work at RMS. For example, it helps with research, editing texts, and developing new products. This use requires clear guidelines. RMS has therefore specified the group-wide requirements with practical guidelines for all media titles.
The key principles of our new guidelines:
- AI is one of our tools: It helps with research and editing, questions arguments, and provides feedback. It supports us in making our products better. Journalistic judgment and our own observations remain our responsibility.
- We stand by every sentence and every image: We take responsibility for everything we publish, regardless of the role AI played in its creation. A human reviews and approves: for individual content, the content itself; for automated formats, the process.
- Trust is our most important asset: We do not deceive our audience. Clear rules apply to labeling.
- What is entrusted to us remains protected: We process confidential information only to the extent permitted in approved AI tools. We do not input information that could identify our journalistic sources. We also respect the rights of others when using AI.
