Animated Times is committed to human-led journalism. This policy explains, plainly, where and how AI-assisted tools may be used around our editorial process, and where they are not.
Human-Written, Human-Published
Every article on Animated Times is written by a named human writer and reviewed by a human editor before publication. We do not auto-publish content, and no article is written or rewritten wholesale by an AI system.
Where AI-Assisted Tools May Be Used
We use, or may use, AI-assisted tools strictly in a supporting role to our human editors — for example, to suggest fact corrections drawn from cited sources, or to flag on-page SEO issues such as a missing meta description or a broken heading structure. Any such suggestion is reviewed by a human editor and must be explicitly approved before it is applied to a live article. These tools do not have the ability to publish or edit content on their own.
Where AI Is Not Used
We do not use AI to generate article opinions, reviews, or firsthand impressions — those come from our writers. We do not use AI to fabricate quotes, sources, or leaks. We do not allow AI systems to publish content without a human editor’s review and approval.
Technical and Operational Use
Separately from editorial content, AI or automated tools may be used for backend purposes such as image optimization, spam and bot filtering, and performance monitoring. These systems do not interact with or alter editorial content.
Questions or Concerns
If you believe an article on Animated Times appears to be improperly AI-generated or contains fabricated information, please contact us at contact@animatedtimes.com and we will review it.
