Our principles
1. People are accountable.
AJP editors decide what is published and answer for every story, whatever tools were used to prepare it.
2. Facts come from reporting.
Our journalists find data, check it against original sources and verify it. AI does not supply facts, figures or quotes on its own authority.
3. AI is a tool, not an author.
We use it where it saves time without replacing judgment.
4. Readers are told.
Content published without human editing is clearly labeled.
What AI does and what our
journalists do
AI assists with:
compiling information from verified material, sorting and organizing data, structuring drafts, factboxes and timelines, and producing first-pass translations.
Our journalists and editors:
choose what to cover, find and verify data, conduct interviews and field reporting, filter AI output, rewrite, edit and proofread, and approve publication.

organize notes, but it does not stand in for the reporting.
Translation
- AI Pick:
articles from Aju Business Daily, our Korean sister paper, aremachine-translated from Korean and published without human rewriting. Each carries a notice that it is an automated translation and links to the original article.
- All other sections:
translation, from Korean or any other language, may begin with AI assistance, but editors check the translation against the original, rewrite it for clarity and accuracy, and proofread it.
- Faithfulness:
we keep the meaning, strength and attribution of the original. Quotes are translated as said, without making them stronger or softer.
- Names and terms:
we follow AJP's style guide for names, titles, companies and currencies.
Partner and contributor
content
Stories, analysis and opinion from partner organizations and contributors follow the same rules.
