We use AI tools for research support, drafting assistance, and routine tasks like formatting and summarising public data — never to generate a finished review, ranking, or safety claim without human verification. Every AI-assisted article is edited, fact-checked, and approved by a human editor before publication, the same as any other article on the site.
Why we're disclosing this
AI tools are now a normal part of many newsrooms and publishers, and readers deserve to know where they fit into ours rather than guessing. This page explains what AI is and isn't used for at True Motion Auto.
Where AI tools are used
- Early research support — summarising public manufacturer data or regulatory documents for a writer to verify
- First-draft assistance on templated, data-heavy content (for example, structured spec comparisons), always rewritten and checked by an editor
- Grammar, style, and formatting checks
- Internal tools that flag outdated figures (old prices, superseded incentives) for human review
Where AI tools are not used
We do not publish vehicle reviews, safety claims, or rankings generated by AI without a human author verifying every fact against a primary source. No article is published without a named human editor taking responsibility for its accuracy.
How this fits our other standards
AI-assisted content still goes through the same process described in our Fact-Checking Policy and Author Guidelines: sourced claims, a second editorial check, and a visible correction process if something is wrong. AI use doesn't relax those standards — if anything, it adds an extra check, since AI-drafted text is treated as unverified until a human confirms it against a source.
Images and media
Where an image has been AI-generated or AI-edited rather than a genuine photograph of the vehicle described, it is labelled as such. Manufacturer press images and our own photography are not AI-generated.
This policy will change
AI tools and best practice around disclosure are both moving quickly. We review this page regularly and update it whenever how we use these tools changes, rather than leaving an outdated description in place.
