AI Use Policy

Effective date: 2025. 11. 01.

Generated with AI by Ferenc Frész

1. Purpose and Scope

This AI Use Policy (“Policy”) establishes the principles, limitations, and disclosure requirements governing the use of Artificial Intelligence (AI) within cyberthreat.report (CTR).
The Policy applies to all written, visual, and multimedia content published by CTR, as well as to the internal workflows and processes that support content creation.

2. Core Principles

  • Human authorship as the default standard: The majority of CTR content is created by human authors, who maintain full responsibility for accuracy, contextual soundness, and final approval.

  • Transparency: CTR is committed to clearly disclosing the use of AI wherever it meaningfully contributes to the content or its creation process.

  • Quality and integrity: AI tools do not replace expert review or CTR’s quality assurance processes. Human oversight remains essential at all times.

3. Role of AI in CTR Content Workflows

CTR employs agentic GenAI workflows to support research, analysis, and content development. AI may assist in tasks such as:

  • data processing and organization

  • drafting content structures or outlines

  • translation and linguistic assistance

  • image generation and image processing

  • research support and information retrieval

  • automation of repetitive or administrative tasks

In all of these areas, AI functions solely as an assistive tool.
Final content is always reviewed, refined, and approved by a human author.

4. Fully AI-Generated Articles

In specific cases — for example, certain vulnerability advisories — an article may be fully generated by AI.

  • All fully AI-generated articles are explicitly disclosed, marked clearly and consistently.

  • These articles still undergo human validation to ensure accuracy, safety, and compliance with CTR standards.

The corresponding label is:
“Fully AI-generated article”

5. Disclosure and Labeling Practices

CTR uses the following standardized labels:

5.1. AI-Assisted, Human-Supervised Content

“Generated with AI by the author”
(AI contributed to the creation process, while all creative decisions, revisions, and final approval were made by the human author.)

This label may appear on:

  • images

  • visual or graphical elements

  • AI-assisted, data driven text segments

  • data-driven visuals or output partially prepared via AI

5.2. Fully AI-Generated Content

“Fully AI-generated article”
(The entire article was produced by AI; this is always explicitly disclosed.)

6. Restrictions and Prohibited Uses

AI must not be used for:

  • autonomous decision-making without human oversight

  • producing misleading, deceptive, or manipulated content

  • validating expert-level security content without human review

  • any unlawful, unethical, or policy-violating purpose

  • submitting sensitive, personal, or security-critical data to AI systems without justification and safeguards

7. Accountability, Oversight, and Amendments

CTR commits to:

  • continuous evaluation of AI usage within workflows

  • retaining human oversight as the central element of quality control

  • complying with applicable regulations (including the EU AI Act) and ethical guidelines

  • updating this Policy when necessary to reflect evolving technologies and standards
