AI Disclaimer
Last updated: May 2026 · See also: Editorial Policy
UKPulse uses artificial intelligence to aggregate and summarise news from trusted UK sources. We believe in being fully transparent about how AI is used in our publishing process.
What AI Does on UKPulse
Our automated pipeline uses AI language models to:
- Summarise and rewrite news articles from source publications in plain, accessible English
- Generate article headlines, descriptions and key points
- Categorise and tag articles by topic and relevance
- Score articles by newsworthiness for distribution prioritisation
Which AI Models We Use
UKPulse currently uses the following AI models for content generation:
- Google Gemini 2.5 Flash — primary model for high-priority articles (score 7+)
- Groq (Llama 3.1) — secondary model for mid-priority articles
- DeepSeek — fallback model for lower-priority articles
All models are prompted to produce factual, neutral summaries based solely on the source article provided. Models are explicitly instructed not to add information not present in the source.
What AI Does NOT Do
- AI does not conduct original reporting or interviews
- AI does not access the internet independently to find information
- AI does not express opinions, make predictions or provide financial/medical/legal advice
- AI does not fabricate quotes, statistics or sources
Human Oversight
All AI-generated content on UKPulse is subject to automated and manual quality controls:
- Hallucination detection: Our system automatically scans for and removes articles containing AI-generated disclaimers or signs of confabulation (e.g. "As an AI…")
- Source verification: Every article must have a verified source URL before publication
- Editorial review: Our team reviews content quality and system performance regularly
Accuracy and Limitations
While we take every precaution to ensure accuracy, AI-generated summaries may occasionally:
- Mischaracterise nuance or context present in the original article
- Omit important details due to summarisation
- Contain minor factual errors not present in the source
Always refer to the linked source article for the full, authoritative version of any story.
Reporting Errors
If you spot an error in an AI-generated article, please email corrections@ukpulse.co.uk with the article link and a description of the issue. We take all correction requests seriously and aim to respond within 24 hours.
Compliance
UKPulse operates in accordance with UK guidance on AI transparency and responsible AI use. We are committed to updating our practices as standards and regulations evolve.
