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.
