Automation and AI methodology
How Santiago Chronicle uses automated research and drafting tools.
Research
Automated systems discover candidate news through trusted feeds and web search, record the consulted URLs, check event dates and compare candidates with existing stories. A candidate is skipped when sourcing, date or duplicate checks fail.
Drafting
A drafting model receives a bounded fact packet rather than unrestricted source pages. It is instructed to preserve names, numbers, uncertainty and attribution and to avoid invented quotes or first-hand claims.
Publication
Passing reports are published automatically under an organizational newsroom byline. Automation does not guarantee accuracy; readers can inspect the listed sources and use the corrections process.
