AI Policy

Principle

Anchor Digital may use AI tools selectively to support parts of its internal workflow.

These tools may improve speed, organisation or early stage exploration. They do not replace editorial responsibility, strategic judgment or accountability for client facing work.

AI may support parts of the process, but responsibility for published content, strategic recommendations and client facing outputs remains human. Anchor Digital does not treat AI generated material as inherently reliable. It is treated as draft level input until it has been reviewed.

Where AI may be used

AI may be used in limited supporting roles. This may include:

• Early stage research support
• Summarisation of non sensitive material
• Drafting assistance
• Structural exploration
• Internal workflow efficiency

These uses are intended to support clearer thinking and faster internal processing. They do not replace review, interpretation or final decision making.

What AI does not replace

AI tools are not used as a substitute for:

• Strategic responsibility
• Editorial review
• Factual verification
• Client specific judgment
• Final recommendation making

All final outputs intended for publication or client delivery are reviewed and shaped by a human decision maker.

Verification and quality

Generated material is not treated as verified fact without review. Where AI assisted material is used, it is reviewed before being included in any client facing or published output.

Where appropriate, source based and editorially reviewed material is preferred over unsupported generation.

Confidentiality

Where client work involves confidential or commercially sensitive information, AI use is approached cautiously. Anchor Digital does not use AI tools in ways that would unnecessarily expose client sensitive material or reduce control over confidential information.

Only the minimum necessary information should be used in any workflow where AI support is involved.

What this means in practice

For clients, this means:

• AI may help accelerate parts of internal work
• Recommendations are not delivered without human review
• Final advisory judgment remains accountable and human
• Clarity, discretion and verification take precedence over speed

This reflects the working model of Anchor Digital: structure before noise, judgment before automation.
