AI Disclosure
How DiabetesCompass uses artificial intelligence in its editorial workflow.
Maren and Theo are digital characters
Maren and Theo are editorial voices presented through AI-generated audio, video, and avatar workflows. They are not real people. Their names, voices, and on-camera presentation are produced using controlled generative-AI tools.
How content is produced
- Topics are selected by the human editorial team.
- Drafts are produced by human writers, with AI used as a research and drafting assistant.
- Every claim is fact-checked against the current ADA Standards of Care and other named clinical sources before publication.
- A human editor reviews the final draft and approves publication.
- Audio and video segments featuring Maren or Theo are generated using avatar tools and reviewed by an editor before release.
What we do not do
- We do not present AI-generated text as the work of a real, named clinician.
- We do not generate medical advice automatically. AI is a drafting and research aid only.
- We do not allow user-facing chatbots to give individualized medical advice.
Why we're telling you this
People making health decisions deserve to know how the information in front of them was produced. DiabetesCompass is built on the premise that AI can help us scale high-quality educational content — but only when it's honest about its role and paired with rigorous human editorial oversight.
TODO: editorial team to add the names and credentials of the human editorial supervisors, the specific AI tools used in production, and the date of the last revision of this policy.
