AI Content Disclosure Policy
Where and how BrainMatter uses AI in its editorial process — and where it does not.
Key takeaways
- AI is used as a research and drafting aid, never as a sole author of published claims.
- Every published article is reviewed by a human editor against primary sources.
- We do not publish AI-generated images of real people or events without disclosure.
Where AI helps
Research synthesis, draft outlining, copy-editing, accessibility checks, and metadata generation. Used the way a research assistant or copy editor is used.
Where AI does not appear
Final factual claims, source selection, scientific interpretation, and named attributions are made by human editors. AI-generated images of real people, events, or experiments are not published.
Why disclose at all
Reader trust depends on clarity about who and what produced what they read. Disclosure is editorial hygiene, not a legal obligation.
