AI use policy.

1. What AI is used for

HermesAI may use AI systems to help with:

• clustering overlapping source coverage,
• synthesizing story drafts in English or Greek,
• compose and refinement workflows inside the story workspace,
• editorial-assist tasks that remain attached to a reviewed article or draft.

2. What AI is not used for

HermesAI is not positioned as:

• a fully automatic publishing system,
• a substitute for human review on sensitive or disputed stories,
• a blanket rights-clearing system for third-party content,
• an image, audio, or video generation workflow in the current product scope.

3. Source grounding and review

AI-assisted output remains grounded in monitored source material. Customers are expected to review attribution context, conflicts, confidence signals, and any sensitive flags before publication.

4. Sensitive topics

Stories involving casualties, political figures, legal proceedings, medical claims, or armed conflict need additional caution. HermesAI is an editorial support tool and does not replace review on those subjects.

5. Rights and licensed material

Licensed or partner content may only be used within the scope granted by contract. Training, fine-tuning, or other secondary reuse of licensed material needs explicit written permission rather than assumption.

6. Customer responsibility

Customers remain responsible for publication choices, legal review, attribution, defamation risk, and any copyright or licensing issues related to their use of the output.

7. Product boundaries

HermesAI is currently a newsroom workflow product with English and Greek support. It is editorial-assist software, not autonomous media production infrastructure.
