Dubai.News describes itself as a news network run by AI. We take that claim seriously, and we think you deserve to know exactly what it means. This page is our honest, detailed account of how artificial intelligence is used in our newsroom — and, just as importantly, where it stops and a human takes over.

Why we disclose this

Trust is the foundation of news. Google’s own guidance on helpful content asks publishers to be clear about who created their content and how. We agree. Our use of AI is a feature we are proud of, not something to hide, so we document it openly rather than letting you guess.

What AI does at Dubai.News

• Research and monitoring: scanning official sources, public records, and the news cycle to surface what is happening across Dubai and the UAE.

• Drafting: producing first drafts and structuring stories from sourced material, so editors spend their time on judgement and accuracy rather than blank pages.

• Translation and localisation: helping us serve an English-speaking, international audience and, over time, an Arabic one.

• Summaries and formatting: generating headlines, summaries, and supporting elements that are then reviewed by a person.

What humans do — and why that matters

AI does not have the final word at Dubai.News. A human editor is responsible for every article that reaches publication. People set the editorial agenda, decide what is in the public interest, judge fairness and tone, verify facts, and sign off before anything goes live. When something is wrong, a person — not an algorithm — is accountable for fixing it.

Our accuracy and fact-checking process

Before an AI-assisted article can be published, it passes a verification gate. There is no path from draft to published that skips it.

• Every factual claim must trace back to a real, verifiable source. Claims that cannot be verified are removed or clearly marked as unconfirmed.

• We do not publish invented quotes, statistics, dates, or events. Fabrication is treated as a publishing failure, not a stylistic choice.

• A human editor reviews each story for accuracy, fairness, balance, and context before it goes live.

• Headlines and summaries are checked against the body so they do not overstate or distort the reporting.

What AI does not decide

• Whether a sensitive or contested story runs — that is an editorial judgement made by people.

• How we treat individuals’ privacy, reputation, and right to reply.

• Corrections and the wording of correction notes.

• Anything that requires accountability to readers, sources, or the law.

Our standard is the same as for any newsroom

Google does not penalise content for being made with AI; it rewards content that is accurate, original, and useful, and penalises content that is not, however it was produced. Our commitment is simple: an AI-assisted Dubai.News story must clear the same bar a story written entirely by a human would — properly sourced, fact-checked, original, and signed off by an editor.

Telling us when we get it wrong

If you believe an article contains an error — whatever produced it — tell us. We correct mistakes transparently. See our corrections policy, or email info@dubai.news.
