The UAE Time may use artificial intelligence (AI) tools to support selected editorial and operational tasks. However, every published article, analysis, image, or multimedia asset remains subject to human editorial review before publication. AI assists our newsroom—it does not replace independent journalism or editorial judgment.
Artificial intelligence may assist with research support, language refinement, transcription, translation, workflow efficiency, and other editorial tasks. Every published story is reviewed by human editors who remain responsible for accuracy, fairness, ethics, and editorial integrity.
Artificial intelligence is used only as a supporting technology within selected newsroom workflows. AI may assist with efficiency, organization, language refinement, transcription, translation, research support, and multimedia preparation. Editorial judgment, verification, and publication decisions always remain the responsibility of human editors.

The UAE Time permits the responsible use of artificial intelligence only where it supports editorial quality, operational efficiency, and reader value. AI is used as an assistive technology—not as an independent publisher, editor, or decision-maker.
AI may assist with grammar, spelling, readability improvements, formatting, headline variations, and language refinement. Final wording is always reviewed by human editors.
AI tools may assist with translating content into multiple languages. Human review helps ensure accuracy, context, and appropriate cultural interpretation.
AI may generate draft transcripts from interviews, speeches, podcasts, or press conferences, which are reviewed before publication.
AI may help organize publicly available information and identify background material. Editors independently verify important facts before publication.
AI may assist with image processing, caption drafting, accessibility descriptions, or production workflows while maintaining editorial oversight.

Artificial intelligence enhances productivity but never replaces editorial judgment, professional journalism, or human accountability at The UAE Time.
The UAE Time prohibits the use of artificial intelligence in ways that could compromise journalistic integrity, editorial independence, reader trust, or the accuracy of published information. AI is never permitted to replace responsible human editorial judgment.
AI-generated articles, reports, or multimedia content may not be published directly without editorial review and approval by qualified newsroom staff.
AI must never be used to invent facts, create false quotations, fabricate interviews, manipulate statistics, or generate misleading news content.
Editorial decisions—including story selection, publication approval, corrections, and ethical considerations—must always remain under human control.
AI may not be used to intentionally deceive audiences regarding the origin, authenticity, or credibility of editorial content.
AI tools must not be used in ways that violate privacy, misuse confidential information, or process sensitive personal data without appropriate safeguards.
Synthetic media, deepfakes, or AI-generated visual content must never be presented as authentic news imagery without appropriate editorial context or disclosure.
Editors, journalists, and newsroom leadership remain fully responsible for every article, image, video, infographic, and multimedia asset published by The UAE Time. Artificial intelligence serves only as an assistive technology and cannot assume editorial responsibility.
Trust is built through openness and accountability. The UAE Time believes readers should understand when and how artificial intelligence contributes to our editorial workflows. While AI may support selected newsroom operations, editorial responsibility always remains with human journalists and editors.
Whenever AI materially contributes to the creation of editorial content, imagery, multimedia, or newsroom workflows, we evaluate whether disclosure is appropriate based on the nature of the content and our editorial standards.
AI systems do not assume responsibility for published journalism. Editors remain accountable for verification, fairness, ethical compliance, publication decisions, and any necessary corrections.
We strive to communicate our AI practices in a clear and understandable manner so readers can make informed judgments about our reporting and editorial processes.
We continuously evaluate our use of artificial intelligence to ensure it supports accurate, ethical, independent, and trustworthy journalism while protecting the confidence our readers place in The UAE Time.
The UAE Time is committed to responsible, transparent, and ethical use of artificial intelligence in journalism. If you have questions, feedback, or concerns regarding our AI Usage Policy or editorial practices, our editorial team welcomes your inquiry.
Our editors regularly review newsroom workflows to ensure AI supports high-quality journalism while maintaining human oversight, transparency, and public trust.
