Why we explain this
El Panfleto uses artificial intelligence tools in our internal operations. Nothing we publish is generated or approved automatically by AI — every piece goes through human review. Transparency requires explaining what AI does and what it does not do.
What we use
We work with external providers — primarily Anthropic (Claude) and OpenAI — for the following internal tasks:
- Editorial radar: automated monitoring of sources to identify relevant news about independent Venezuelan music. No radar item is published without an editor reviewing it first.
- Incoming email classification: emails arriving in our inbox are classified by category and priority so humans can respond faster.
- Application evaluation: Lab submissions and sponsorship proposals receive a preliminary AI score that serves as input — not a final decision — for editors.
- Internal communications drafts: we generate drafts for follow-up emails, proposals, and campaign reports that are always reviewed, edited, and approved by a human before sending.
- Social media draft generation: social media posts are generated as drafts that the team reviews and publishes manually.
What we do not do
- We do not publish AI-generated text without substantial rewriting by a human editor.
- We do not use AI-generated images in our publications.
- We do not use AI to recommend content to readers.
- We do not have public-facing chatbots.
- We do not process emails from confidential journalistic sources through AI.
Accountability
Every AI action is logged: provider, model, prompt version, date, and what edits a human made afterward. Corrections to AI-assisted content are tracked separately. No sponsorship application is automatically approved — all go through human review.
