TIFAM prioritises ethical responsibility in the deployment of artificial intelligence in order to increase creativity and quality while respecting our cultural heritage. AI will only be a support tool, not a replacement for human creativity and intuition. In order to maintain an environment free of artificial intelligence in reader-facing content, we commit to uphold fairness, transparency, accountability, and honesty in AI use.

Essential Ethical Standards Fairness and non-bias

Artificial intelligence-generated content will be reviewed to ensure editorial standards are met, prejudice is avoided, and fairness advances. Continuous assessments and modifications ensure that artificial intelligence does not perpetuate discriminatory policies or attitudes. Frequent inspections and corrective action ensure that artificial intelligence does not promote discriminatory practices or preconceived notions.

Transparency

TIFAM will transparently disclose AI involvement by clearly labeling content produced with its assistance using a statement such as “Content generated by AI,” ensuring complete transparency for our audience.

Contributors and readers will be informed about how artificial intelligence is employed in editorial processes. TIFAM will maintain internal records on the use of artificial intelligence to ensure responsibility and confidence. We will conduct a human evaluation of all texts. While reviewing all content generated by artificial intelligence, editors ensure that it fits cultural and quality standards. Dedicated editorial staff members monitor artificial intelligence use and promptly address any ethical problems or errors.

TIFAM will not accept  submissions of any form or generated using artificial intelligence, regardless of the degree or percentages involved; our toolbox for detecting AI is in place and used on a daily basis.

Respecting journalistic honesty and cultural norms

AI fails to encourage creativity and the development of both spirit and intellect, and it frequently undermines archery’s historical and cultural significance by trivialising the background. As a result, journalists continue to be solely responsible for all sensitive and essential threads.

Data security and privacy

To a limited extent, TIFAM may utilise artificial systems to process personal data in strict compliance with data protection regulations, including the GDPR.

Intellectual rights and originality.

As a publisher, TIFAM ensures that copyright is respected; so, if its minor content was generated by artificial intelligence, TIFAM gains ownership of that content because it was developed by its original prompts and TIFAM’s machine learning algorithms.

It is the job of TIFAM editors to ensure that all content, whether written by humans or created by artificial intelligence, is unique and free of plagiarism.

Reputation and risk management

For contextually high-profile material (e.g., shoot reports, interviews, opinion articles, tips, etc.), artificial intelligence’s involvement is typically confined to proofreading and grammatical corrections.

The responsive, quick action methods are always in place to eliminate errors as soon as possible, and the internal verification procedures are always in operation.

Artificial intelligence is never utilised in the major editorial content, but it can be used to create smaller pieces like social media postings or short promotional features.

Continuous learning and progress.

TIFAM fosters continual learning and frequent improvments to its governance structure.

Frequent audits and feedback loops ensure that the usage of AI aligns with the ethical guidelines listed above.

Content regions without artificial intelligence

  • All kinds of reports
  • Coaching Materials
  • Enquiries and interviews
  • Opinion articles and editorials.
  • Advice, guidance, and reviews.

Reader-facing content will be fully developed by humans, reflecting TIFAM’s commitment to distinctiveness, cultural authenticity, and a personal touch. While some manuscripts may be proofread or grammar-checked by AI, the end product, a ready-to-publish work, will always require the thinking and creativity of a living person.

Dedication to the ethical integration of artificial intelligence.

This paradigm ensures that the human aspect is retained at all stages of our editorial work, while artificial intelligence is used exclusively as an auxiliary tool. TIFAM editors bear ultimate responsibility for content, and all material is thoroughly reviewed for integrity. TIFAM remains committed to honesty, authenticity, and historical preservation, opposing the use of artificial intelligence to create the history and legacy of archery. The magazine’s voice and content continue to be defined by human originality, judgement, and ingenuity.
