Artificial intelligence has moved from the research lab to the newsroom faster than most media houses expected. At Sunday Show, we made a decision early: AI is a tool for our reporters, not a shortcut around them.
We use AI to translate published stories into Hindi and Marathi within seconds, to generate first-pass summaries, and to draft alt-text for images so our pages are accessible on day one. Every one of those drafts is reviewed by a human editor before it goes live.
The byline stays with a person; the accountability stays with our desk. The risk with generative models is not that they invent facts once — every reporter has done that in a first draft — but that at scale, unreviewed text erodes trust.
That is why our workflow inserts a human at the last mile, always. When a translation looks off, we fix it and log it.
When a summary skips a nuance, we rewrite it. Readers should demand this level of transparency from every publisher they read.
If a story does not tell you how it was written and reviewed, ask.
