Puerto Vallarta news, weather, beach reports, airport updates, peso exchange rates, local alerts, and daily briefings for residents, visitors, and expats.
Vallarta Daily uses artificial intelligence tools in limited, supervised ways to support our news publishing process. AI may help our editors work more efficiently, verify information, improve clarity, organize content, and manage the website’s technical aspects. It does not replace human reporting, editing, judgment, or accountability.
All published news content remains under human editorial control.
Vallarta Daily does not use AI to replace human-written journalism. Stories published on our site are reviewed by a human editor before publication. When AI tools are used, they are part of an editorial workflow that includes human judgment, verification, editing, and final approval.
AI tools may assist our work, but they do not decide what we publish.
Vallarta Daily may use AI tools in the following ways:
We may use AI search tools to help quickly cross-check figures, dates, historical references, public records, or background information against reliable sources, registries, official databases, or previously published reporting.
AI may help identify potential inconsistencies or areas requiring review. It is not treated as a final source. Facts must be verified by a human editor using reliable source material before publication.
AI tools may be used as a developmental editing aid to review drafts for missing context, unclear chronology, weak structure, unsupported claims, or logical gaps.
This process helps editors identify questions that should be answered before publication. Any changes made after this review are handled by a human editor.
We may use AI-assisted tools to check whether drafts follow internal formatting rules, AP Style, AAJA guidance, or other editorial standards.
These tools help flag possible style or wording issues. Final style decisions are made by human editors.
AI writing tools may be used to help proofread human-written drafts, tighten awkward phrasing, improve sentence clarity, or reduce unnecessary wording.
These tools are used for editing assistance, not to replace the editorial voice or reporting process.
Vallarta Daily may use internal generative AI tools to draft initial options for headlines, SEO tags, newsletter excerpts, article summaries, or social media copy.
These are treated as suggestions. A human editor reviews and approves any final headline, excerpt, tag, or promotional copy before publication.
We may use machine learning or AI-assisted tools inside our content management system to organize metadata, categorize content, detect spam, assist with comment moderation, or improve site management.
These tools may help identify comments or content that require review, but they do not replace editorial or administrative oversight.
Vallarta Daily may occasionally use AI-generated images when a real news photo is not available, when a visual representation is useful, or when an image is clearly illustrative rather than documentary.
When we use an AI-generated image, we label it clearly as AI-generated, AI representation, or similar wording.
AI-generated images are not presented as real photographs of actual events, people, crime scenes, public meetings, disasters, protests, or official actions. They are used only as visual representations.
Vallarta Daily does not use AI to:
Every article published by Vallarta Daily remains the responsibility of our editorial team.
Human editors decide what is newsworthy, which sources are reliable, what context is needed, and whether a story is ready for publication. AI tools may assist with the process, but human review remains required before publication.
AI tools can produce errors, outdated information, or misleading summaries. For that reason, Vallarta Daily does not treat AI output as a primary source.
When facts matter, we rely on official records, public statements, direct reporting, reputable news sources, documents, interviews, and other verifiable material.
Vallarta Daily may use AI-assisted tools for website operations, moderation, metadata organization, or editorial workflow. We do not knowingly use private user information submitted to the website to generate news content.
User data is handled in accordance with our Privacy Policy. Readers should review that policy for more information about how data is collected, stored, and used.
AI or automated systems may assist with comment moderation by detecting spam, abusive language, duplicate posts, or content that appears to violate our rules.
Automated moderation can make mistakes. Vallarta Daily may review moderation decisions when appropriate and reserves the right to remove comments that violate our terms, community rules, or applicable law.
If an error appears in published content, Vallarta Daily is responsible for correcting it, regardless of whether AI tools were involved in the editorial process.
Readers may contact us to report errors, request clarification, or raise concerns about our use of AI in published content.
This AI Policy may be updated as technology, newsroom practices, legal standards, or editorial needs change. The latest version will be made available on VallartaDaily.com and may be linked from our Terms of Service and Privacy Policy.
