As a digital publication covering Africa, business, technology, AI, politics, education, finance, global affairs, innovation, and public-interest reporting, we are committed to using artificial intelligence responsibly, transparently, and under human editorial supervision.
This AI Usage Policy explains how NyongesaSande.com uses AI-assisted technologies within newsroom and publishing operations while maintaining editorial accountability, accuracy, and reader trust.
