AI Usage Policy

How ELPA SPACE uses AI systems in research, drafting, illustration, validation, metadata, and publishing workflows.

AI assistance is allowed only inside a controlled editorial workflow. It does not replace responsibility, sourcing, correction handling, or human publication judgment.

AI drafting Allowed only with human editorial responsibility
Fact checks Required for named entities, dates, prices, policies, and product claims
Images AI-assisted images are editorial illustrations, not evidence
Automation Used for workflow discipline, metadata, validation, and production checks
Accountability Human operator remains responsible for publication decisions

ELPA SPACE may use AI systems to assist with research synthesis, structure planning, draft iteration, visual prompt generation, translation planning, metadata preparation, and pre-publication validation.

AI output is not treated as an authority. Claims, dates, prices, product details, and named entities require verification against reliable sources before publication.

AI-generated or AI-assisted imagery is used as editorial illustration unless otherwise stated. It must be relevant to the article, visually original, and not presented as documentary evidence.

The publication avoids mass-produced pages created primarily to capture search traffic. Automation is acceptable only when it improves clarity, coverage, verification, or production discipline for human readers.

Where AI May Be Used

AI tools may help organize source material, draft outlines, compare claims, produce alternate explanations, prepare metadata, generate visual concepts, validate links, and check consistency between visible content and structured data.

The useful role of automation is speed, consistency, and breadth of review. It is not a license to publish unverifiable claims or generic pages with no original editorial value.

  • Research organization and outline planning
  • Draft iteration under editorial control
  • Metadata, schema, and accessibility checks
  • Image planning and editorial illustration
  • Quality-control checklists before publication

Where AI Is Not Enough

AI-generated statements about real people, companies, products, policy changes, pricing, release dates, benchmarks, and financial claims must be checked before publication.

If an article relies on a model's interpretation, the page should still show the source basis and the editorial reasoning behind the conclusion.

Disclosure Standard

Article pages include a visible transparency block explaining who created the content, how the workflow uses AI assistance, why the page exists, and where readers can send corrections.

This disclosure is designed for readers first. Structured data should support the same facts, not hide a different story from the page.

Trust Layer

Who, how, why, and evidence are visible by design.

Who

Every article should show the named author and editor, with author pages explaining background, scope, and accountability.

How

The site discloses the editorial workflow, including where AI assistance can be used and where human verification is required.

Why

ELPA SPACE exists to help readers understand AI infrastructure shifts, not to publish generic pages solely for search traffic.

Evidence

Articles should expose their source trail through visible references and consistent citation fields in structured data.
