Ars Technica Publishes Reader-Facing Generative AI Policy

Ars Technica has published a reader-facing policy explaining how it uses and doesn't use generative AI in its editorial workflow. The policy, last updated April 22, 2026, affirms that all reporting, analysis, and commentary is human-authored, while allowing AI-assisted research and editing under human supervision. The publication states AI will not replace human insight and cannot become the author, illustrator, or videographer.
