In TuPeriódico we are always looking for the tip of the spear and it is found today in the use of artificial intelligence. However, we have a firm commitment to transparency in the development of our work, and after trying different solutions intelligences generative, we wanted to inform you about how we will use and how will notify you of their inclusion in the content.

Photos

• How will we use?

We will use illustrations and photographs illustrating the topic of the content, in order to focus the attention in the context of the news. An example of this is found in the articles of opinion, such as this, where the author describes the bad luck held by the country with some Felipes very noticeable. For this entry, we generated this illustration:

• How to know the user who is facing an image generated by AI?

Now, to the naked eye it is possible to differentiate —most of the time— image, a real image of a generated by an artificial intelligence. However, TuPeriódico always be notified of the use of this type of image by a warning in the caption of the image, it will look like this (we have coloured the image in dark purple to highlight):

Texts

Another possible use of Artificial Intelligence in the context of the newspaper is in the text, either in the body, the owner or the metadata of the news. TuPeriódico limits this use:

• Assessment of readability. Internally, in each article, we have a parser readability to indicate the author, if the text you’re writing is easy to read.
• Evaluation of SEO. We run an automatic scan of the optimization in search engines to give you the best experience.
• Help to writing. From time to time, as we are human, we block it. For that, we have a wizard of wording that is able to write texts in a rudimentary way. This wizard is used very promptly and with the sole objective to serve as inspiration. The use of this aid should be indicated in the text with the same icon as in the image above: . Below, a sample text, generated by Artificial Intelligence since the appointment of Rodolfo Walsh, who serves as the motto of the newspaper: ‘journalism is free or it is a farce.’

Journalism is a profession that is fundamental in a democratic society, as it has the power to inform, investigate and communicate in an objective manner the events that occur around us. Through journalism, we can access a wide variety of news, analysis and opinions that allow us to form a more complete and profound about the world in which we live.

However, it is also important to recognize that journalism is not free of challenges and criticisms. Sometimes, the line between freedom of expression and journalistic responsibility can become blurred, which can give rise to situations in which the accuracy of the information is compromised or techniques are used sensationalized to attract the attention of the readers.

That is why we, as consumers of news, it is essential to be critical and be attentive to the quality and credibility of sources of information. We must find the means of communication that are transparent about their processes of research and verification, and that is to strive to present a diversity of perspectives so that we can have a more complete and objective of the events.

In short, journalism is an invaluable tool for the functioning of a democratic society, but we must also be aware of their challenges and to make sure to consume information from sources reliable and responsible.

Audio

The primary use of AI in TuPeriódico is one of the features of accessibility more prominent and, at the same time, more celebrated by the community, the news reader. Opened in the version beta (now delta) of the newspaper, it introduced the possibility of listening to the news in question without the need to read. In the last update, changed clothes, and was provided with a voice much more natural. The design of the player gives to understand that it is generated with Artificial Intelligence, in addition to integrating with the visual language of TuPeriódico.

Below is an example of how the news reader.

Annex editorial: the Philosophy of TuPeriódico on the use of Artificial Intelligence

What do we use AI?

In TuPeriódico we understand artificial intelligence as a revolutionary tool and, therefore, political.
We use it to extend human capabilities, not to replace them without judgment.
We use it to rewrite, translate, analyze, and talk, but with a conviction clear:
the technology without ethics is propaganda. And the journalism without a soul is advertising.

Principles that guide our use of AI

1. Transparency:
   All content assisted or generated by the IA will be clearly identified.
   The reader has a right to know how it produces what it consumes.
2. Rewriting critical, it does not copy empty:
   A content agency by IA, but not to clone them:
   what do we do to put them in perspective, to locate them, to strip them of automatism and to restore a sense, political.
3. Access and conversation:
   We are building a system conversational complete, based on AI,
   so that the readers can talk with TuPeriódico, ask for explanations, expand content and participate.
4. Curiosity radical:
   we are Not afraid to AI. The look in the eyes, the question, the we break and we use it.
   The problem is not the machine, is who the program, who is profiting, who decides what you think.
5. Ethics algorithmic own:
   Not externalizamos our editorial decisions.
   Our prompts, filters, and models are designed from human standards, journalistic, and political.

What not to do with AI (and we don’t want others to do)

• We will not publish content without editorial review.
• Do not generate fake interviews, deepfakes or simulations misleading.
• Not automatizaremos the views or suplantaremos voices alive.
• Not fingiremos informative diversity using AI to make pluralism simulated.
• We will not surrender to the authorship: the undersigned, responds.

AI to democratize, not to dominate

We use AI to:

• to accelerate the production of critical information
• break language and cultural barriers
• bring the news to more people
• to make the reader will be able to interact with what we publish

If the AI serves the people, it is our ally.
If it serves the accumulation, propaganda or lies, we will face.

Epilogue

TuPeriódico is not a medium that incorporates AI.
TuPeriódico is a medium that redefines journalism with AI as a transformative tool.
The difference is all.
