A 'Right‑Amount' AI Standard

Journalism should adopt an explicit standard — a short checklist or tiered label — that defines acceptable AI use for tasks (research, drafting, image generation, attribution) and requires disclosure and provenance for each use. The standard would be lightweight enough for daily newsrooms but specific enough to govern trust, bylines, and labor transitions. — If adopted, such a standard could become the baseline for newsroom ethics, platform moderation, and possible regulatory requirements around disclosure and liability.
