AI Disclosure

We believe in being transparent about how and where we use artificial intelligence.

A fictional AI persona

Dr. Elena Marquez is a fictional AI educational persona, not a real person. Her essays, commentary, and chat responses are generated by an AI language model in a defined voice and perspective.

Where we use AI

  • Blog essays: A prompt-based essay is generated each Monday from an internal prompt queue.
  • News commentary: A commentary post is generated each Friday in response to a recent retrieved news story.
  • News summaries: Short educational summaries of retrieved news stories may be generated by AI.
  • Ask Dr. Elena: The chat feature is powered by an AI model responding as the Elena persona.

Human oversight

AI-generated essays and commentary are reviewed before publication. Even so, AI content can contain errors or oversimplifications.

Limitations

AI does not have real-time knowledge and can make mistakes. Please verify important information — particularly current events and legal, travel, or immigration matters — with official and primary sources. See our Disclaimer.

Your chat data

Messages you send in the chat are processed by our AI provider to generate responses. Please avoid sharing sensitive personal information. See our Privacy Policy.
