Section 1
The premise
A newsroom needs an explicit verification ladder for suspected synthetic media; AI can structure the ladder but never decides publication.
What AI does well here
- Draft a verification ladder with steps, owners, and time-boxes.
- Generate a public correction template if a deepfake is published in error.
What AI cannot do
- Determine authenticity of contested media.
- Replace editorial judgment on news value.
