At FootyPedia.org, we believe in full transparency about how our content is produced. This page explains our responsible use of artificial intelligence tools in the editorial process, and how we ensure every article meets our commitment to accuracy, independence, and editorial integrity.
Our Approach to AI Tools
FootyPedia.org, published by Moody Media AB, may employ AI-powered tools in a supporting role during content creation. These tools assist with tasks such as organising research, drafting initial text, refining language, formatting data, and summarising match reports or historical timelines. However, AI is never used as a substitute for human editorial judgement.
Human Oversight Is Required
Before any content that has involved AI assistance is published, it undergoes thorough human review by our editorial team. Editors verify facts, check context, assess tone, and ensure the final piece aligns with our Editorial Policy and Fact-Checking Policy. AI does not replace the expertise, experience, and ethical responsibility of our writers and editors.
AI and Sensitive Claims
We are especially careful when content touches on sensitive claims, such as disciplinary actions, financial disputes, transfer details, or personal information about players and staff. Any claim generated or suggested by an AI tool must be verified against reliable, primary sources before it can be included. Our Fact-Checking Policy sets the standard for source verification.
Verification of AI-Generated Material
AI systems can sometimes produce plausible-sounding but incorrect information — often called “hallucinations.” For this reason, any factual claim originating from an AI tool — whether a statistic, a historical date, a player name, or a transfer fee — is treated as unverified until confirmed by our editorial team using trusted references, official databases, and direct sources.
Corrections and Accountability
We are committed to correcting errors quickly and transparently, regardless of whether they originated from AI assistance or human research. If you believe any information on FootyPedia.org requires correction, please contact us at corrections@footypedia.org or visit our Corrections Policy page.
AI in Context: The use of artificial intelligence does not change our editorial mission. Every piece of content on FootyPedia.org is produced under the full responsibility of Moody Media AB, our editorial team, and our network of contributors. AI is a tool, not an author.
Continuous Improvement
We regularly review our use of AI tools and update this policy as technology evolves. Our goal remains to serve the football community with independent, accurate, and trustworthy knowledge. For more about how we operate, see Ownership and Funding.
