Frequently asked

Questions we keep getting.

Is AI replacing journalists?
No. The microsite's editorial position is that AI is a tool for journalism. Humans remain the primary editorial decision-makers, and AI use is disclosed when material.
Can I reuse content from this microsite?
Most explainers and OER materials are released under open licences. Each item carries its own licence notice — check before redistributing.
How do you decide what to publish?
Content must be based on real practice, learning, or relevant references. We stay critical of both the opportunities and the impacts of AI on media and the public.
