Transparency and authorship
Who signs the stories, how artificial intelligence is used and who answers for ContextIA.
Authorship
ContextIA stories are signed by the “ContextIA Newsroom”. The byline identifies the portal newsroom, whose work is done with the help of artificial intelligence and under human editorial responsibility. The AI is not presented as a person, and there is no human journalist behind each text.
Use of artificial intelligence
The AI selects topics, gathers what the sources report, writes the text and translates it into Portuguese, English and Spanish. Each story is automatically checked against the sources (numbers, dates and quotes) before it is published. The AI can make mistakes and is neither neutral nor infallible.
Human editorial responsibility
ContextIA has human editorial responsibility. People define the selection criteria and the publication rules, monitor what is published, review held items and can correct, update or withdraw any story at any time.
Editorial responsibility for the publication: Robson Bastos.
Sources and images
Each story lists the sources consulted, with a link and an indication of primary sources. Images carry a credit and a link to their origin; when they come from a publication cited as a source, they are credited as “Reproduction” to the outlet. We do not use AI-generated images to represent real events.
Dates and updates
Every story shows its publication date and time (Brasília time). When the text of an already published story is corrected or updated, the date and time of the update appear next to the publication date.
Corrections and withdrawal
If you find an error, see the Corrections page. If confirmed, it is fixed in every edition; information that cannot be supported is withdrawn.
Editorial line
We seek useful, confirmed facts, with identified sources (preferring primary ones), without opinion and without party alignment.
