March 17, 2023 Dear Reader, royal media set out to experiment with incorporating artificial intelligence into editorial work. We recognize the uncertainty involved, but this is an exciting initiative for us. But we have always experimented and explored new technologies, business models and strategies. We are doing the same with AI, and for now, Chat GPT in particular. We believe this tool will allow us to provide more information faster. Obviously, we care very much about the quality and accuracy of the information we publish. Journalism Code of Ethics Use of AI is therefore limited to news or information obtained solely from press releases published at well-defined website addresses. Admittedly, this is an experiment. And we expect our AI practices to evolve over time. All development is guided by our commitment to provide the insight, intelligence and information needed for success.
