AI & Sources Policy cinematic MoroccoNation page image

Transparency and source discipline

AI can assist production. It cannot replace editorial accountability.

MoroccoNation uses AI-assisted workflows to organize, draft, format and visualize content, while keeping sensitive publication decisions under human control.

Source count

Sensitive articles need enough evidence before publication.

Image provenance

Generated and licensed images should be tracked.

Review flags

Automation can prepare, but review rules decide status.

Reader trust

Transparency is part of the product.

How AI May Be Used

AI tools may help with research organization, outlines, metadata, summaries, image prompts, translation support, quality checks and workflow automation.

AI can also generate original visuals when licensed or official media is not available, provided the image is labelled in metadata and does not mislead readers about a real event.

How AI May Not Be Used

AI must not invent sources, fabricate quotes, create fake eyewitness material or publish sensitive news without human review.

AI-generated images should not be used to imply a real photograph of a real event unless clearly created as an editorial illustration.

Source Standards

Sources are prioritized in this order: official documents, primary institutions, established news organizations, expert publications, then secondary references.

For sensitive topics, at least two reliable sources are expected. For evergreen culture and heritage, institutional or specialist sources are preferred.

Internal Metadata

The site stores editorial metadata such as source count, risk level, AI notes, image provenance and review requirement. These fields help prevent accidental auto-publication of sensitive material.

The presence of AI metadata does not mean an article is unfinished. It means the workflow is documented.
