  4. Suggestion from Mark Greenblatt, professor at Arizona State University and workshop presenter on AI and investigative reporting (6/26/25, CMC), on “transparency language”:

    “I’d recommend adding brief examples of transparency language that communicators can use when disclosing AI’s role in generation of content. This helps lower the barrier to implementation of disclosures, while reinforcing our hope that humans will remain at the center of the work before it is published. Examples could include:

    • ‘This graphic was generated using an AI tool and reviewed by our visuals editor.’
    • ‘This visual was AI-generated based on our reporting; it does not depict a real person or event.’
    • ‘Portions of this article were drafted using an AI language model and subsequently edited and fact-checked by our staff.’
    • ‘AI tools were used to assist in writing this summary, with final content reviewed by a human editor.’
