Responsible use

How to use an automated fact-checker without letting it mislead.

1. It is a tool, not a judge. Read the sources before you rely on a verdict, especially one with medium or low confidence.
2. Always publish the disclosure. Readers should know the check was made by AI.
3. Never present a held claim as a finding. It means no one has decided yet.
4. Do not use it to harass or profile private people. It is for checking public claims.
5. Correct yourself. If a check was wrong, fix the story and tell us.
6. Be careful with names. A claim about a named private person needs a human decision before you publish.
