AI Assistance Policy

This policy explains how government-schemes.org/ may use AI-assisted tools while keeping human editors responsible for accuracy, usefulness, and final publication decisions.

Last updated: June 6, 2026

Our position on AI

government-schemes.org/ may use AI-assisted tools as part of the editorial workflow, but we do not treat AI as a government source, legal authority, or final fact-checker. Our website covers topics where accuracy matters: public benefits, documents, eligibility, application steps, status checks, deadlines, and official portals. For that reason, human review is required for important editorial decisions.

AI can assist

AI may help with outlines, formatting, grammar, readability, content organization, and identifying possible missing sections.

Humans verify

Writers and editors check important claims against official or reliable sources before publication.

Readers come first

AI-assisted content must still be useful, accurate, clear, and safe for real users.

How AI may be used

Creating article outlines based on user intent.
Improving grammar, clarity, structure, and readability.
Suggesting FAQ topics or missing sections that readers may need.
Formatting content for mobile-friendly WordPress pages.
Helping editors compare whether a page answers apply, eligibility, status, documents, benefits, and official-link intent.
Rewriting complex official language into simpler English after the meaning is verified.

How AI may not be used

AI tools should not be used to invent official facts, create fake government links, guess deadlines, fabricate helplines, generate false scheme benefits, or imply government affiliation. AI output should not be published as-is when it contains specific official claims that have not been checked by a human editor.

Important: AI-generated information can be outdated or incorrect. On this website, AI can support the writing process, but official sources and human editorial judgment must guide publication.

Human review responsibilities

Check official links and avoid guessed URLs.

Verify eligibility, benefit amounts, documents, and deadlines where possible.

Remove misleading claims and overconfident wording.

Make sure the article clearly says we are not an official government website.

Improve steps so they are practical and easy to follow.

Update or correct the page when verified changes are found.

Disclosure to readers

We believe transparency helps build trust. This page explains our general AI policy. Individual articles may not repeat this full policy, but our sitewide standard remains the same: AI may assist the editorial workflow, while human writers and editors are responsible for reviewing, verifying, and improving the final content.

Quality control

AI-assisted drafts must go through editorial quality checks. Editors should look for hallucinated facts, outdated instructions, overly generic sections, repeated wording, missing official-source context, and advice that could put readers at risk. The final page should feel like a practical guide written for humans, not a bulk-generated summary.
