AI Use & Disclosure

We believe readers deserve to know how the content they read is made. This page explains where software and AI tools fit into our work — and the firm limits we place on them. It works with our Editorial Policy, Ethics Policy and Fact-Checking Policy.

How we use software tools

We use modern tools to help gather and organise information, draft and edit text, and check our writing. These tools assist the people who run TBN Express; they do not replace them. The model is best described as machine-assisted, human-reviewed.

Human responsibility

Every published article is reviewed by the Editorial Team, which is accountable for its accuracy and tone. Our work is published under the TBN Express Editorial Team byline, and our standards apply equally however a draft was prepared.

The hard limits

• We do not publish AI-generated prices, market figures or quotes. Live data comes from third-party providers through our tools.
• We do not invent sources, statistics or named individuals.
• We do not use AI to impersonate real people or to fabricate bylines.
• We do not let a tool publish unreviewed; a human editor signs off every piece.

Disclosure

Because our byline already reflects collective, human-reviewed work, we do not dress AI assistance up as an individual author. Where the way a piece was produced is relevant to understanding it, we will say so. If you have a question about a specific article, just ask.

Why this matters

Crypto is full of confident-sounding noise. Keeping a human editor responsible for every claim is how we keep the signal clean. This policy is part of how we put our Ethics Policy into practice and works hand in hand with our Fact-Checking Policy.

Questions

If you have a question about how a piece was produced, contact the editorial team.

What machine assistance touches — and what it doesn’t

We are open about the fact that software tools assist parts of our workflow, such as research, drafting and routine formatting. What those tools never do is decide what is true or publish on their own. Every fact is verified against a real source, every page is reviewed by a person before it goes live, and the responsibility for accuracy rests with people, not software. Bylines reflect our editorial team rather than inventing fictional authors, and machine assistance does not change who is accountable for what appears on the site.

Guarding against fabrication

Automated tools can produce text that sounds authoritative while being wrong, and they can invent figures, quotes or sources that do not exist. We treat that as a known risk and design our process around it: nothing generated by a tool is published as fact without independent verification, live market figures come from our data providers rather than from any generative system, and claims that cannot be substantiated are either attributed or left out. The fluency of a draft is never mistaken for evidence that it is correct.

Data, privacy and the tools we use

Our use of software tools is bounded by the same commitments that govern the rest of the site. We do not feed readers’ personal information into tools in ways that conflict with our privacy policy, and we keep human judgement in charge of editorial decisions. The aim of using these tools is to work more efficiently on research and production, never to remove the accountability, sourcing and review that make coverage trustworthy in the first place.

People stay accountable

No matter how our tools evolve, accountability rests with people. A named editorial team — not a piece of software — is responsible for what appears on the site, for verifying it, and for correcting it if it is wrong. Tools assist; they do not absolve anyone of responsibility, and they never get the final word. We will not hide behind automation to explain away an error, and we will not let efficiency erode the human review that every page receives before publication.

Our commitment to readers

Our promise on this is simple and durable: software helps us work, but it does not decide what is true, does not publish unsupervised, and does not invent the authors, facts or figures you read. Live market data comes from our providers, claims are checked against real sources, and a person stands behind every page. If our use of these tools ever raises a question, our contact page is open, and we would rather answer it openly than leave it unexplained.

Why our approach won’t change with the tools

Software tools will keep evolving, and we expect to keep using them where they genuinely help us research and produce work more efficiently. What will not change is the principle underneath: accuracy, sourcing, human review and accountability are not negotiable, whatever a tool can or cannot do. We adopt new tools to serve those standards, never to bypass them. A faster draft is worthless if it is wrong, and convenience is never a reason to publish something unverified. By stating this plainly, we are setting a fixed point that readers can rely on even as the technology around it shifts — the people behind TBN Express remain responsible for every word, every figure and every correction, exactly as they are today.
