AI Disclosure Policy

China Fishing uses AI tools to assist content production. This page explains how, where, and to what extent.

What AI does

• Translation: AI translates Chinese industry information into English. Final output is reviewed by a human editor.
• Drafting: AI generates article outlines and skeletons from structured data inputs. Editorial voice, argument, and conclusions are written by humans.
• Research: AI assists with summarizing long documents, extracting structured fields, and identifying relevant sources.
• SEO: AI suggests titles, meta descriptions, and keyword placements. Final SEO decisions are made by the editor.
• QA: AI runs pre-publication checks (spelling, grammar, link integrity, internal consistency).

What AI does not do

• Make editorial judgments
• Conduct interviews or factory visits
• Approve articles for publication
• Write conclusions, opinions, or positions
• Replace human fact-checking

Per-article disclosure

Every article includes an "AI Disclosure" box listing which steps involved AI assistance. Example:

AI tools assisted with: research, drafting, translation, SEO metadata. Editorial judgment, fact-checking, and final review by human editor.

Why disclose

Readers deserve to know when content is AI-assisted. Disclosure also keeps the editorial team accountable: the better we document AI usage, the more disciplined we become about distinguishing AI assistance from editorial work.
