Editorial Standards
Editorial Guidelines and AI Use Policy
Updated: October 2026
All editorial content published by Seed World must meet our standards for accuracy, credibility, originality and editorial integrity.
AI Use Policy
Seed World permits the use of artificial intelligence as an editorial support tool. AI may assist with research, brainstorming, organization, transcription, summarization, editing, content structure and refinement. AI may also be used to explore ideas, identify gaps and improve clarity. Seed World authors and editors remain responsible for the reporting, analysis, accuracy and editorial judgement behind everything we publish.
AI-generated information may not be treated as a source. Facts, quotes, statistics and claims introduced through AI must be independently verified before publication. AI may never be used to fabricate quotes, sources, interviews, events, research findings or other factual information.
Images, Audio and Video
AI-generated or materially AI-altered imagery, audio and video must be reviewed by an editor. Where such content could reasonably be mistaken for authentic photography, audio, video or documentary material, its use must be clearly disclosed.
AI may not be used to create misleading representations of real people, interviews or events.
Editorial Responsibility and Transparency
Seed World retains editorial responsibility for everything it publishes.
Routine AI use for research support, brainstorming, transcription, organization, editing and other assistive purposes does not ordinarily require individual disclosure when the finished work has received meaningful human editorial review.
When AI-generated or significantly AI-manipulated content materially changes what a reader is seeing, hearing or experiencing, Seed World will provide appropriate disclosure.
Seed World may update this policy as AI tools, editorial practices and legal requirements evolve.
Corrections & Updates Policy
At Seed World, accuracy and transparency are at the core of our editorial mission. We are committed to correcting any content that is inaccurate, unclear, or outdated in a timely and responsible manner.
Corrections
If a factual error is identified in a published article, we will:
- Clearly note the correction at the bottom of the article.
- Provide a brief explanation of what was changed and why.
- Include the date the correction was made.
Clarifications
If the content is accurate but could be misunderstood or lacks context, we will:
- Add a clarification at the end of the article to explain the original intent.
- Update the article where appropriate to enhance clarity.
Updates
When new information becomes available that meaningfully adds to an article, we will:
- Incorporate the new details directly in the piece.
- Include an “Updated on [date]” note at the top or bottom of the article.
