Effective date: 13 March 2026
Purpose and Scope
This policy explains how Forex.ke uses, and does not use, artificial intelligence across our website. It covers editorial work, broker comparisons, research support, analytics, and site maintenance. It applies to everyone involved in creating, editing, reviewing, or maintaining content published on Forex.ke.
Our position is simple. AI can help with support tasks, but it does not replace human judgment, human writing, or human accountability.
Our Principles
We use a few plain rules to keep standards high and authorship honest.
Humans remain responsible
People write, edit, fact check, and approve everything we publish.
Facts come before convenience
Factual claims must be checked against primary, official, or otherwise strong sources by a human.
Readers should know where automation exists
If we use automation in any meaningful way, we should explain it clearly.
Accuracy matters more than speed
We avoid AI uses that could introduce made up facts, weak sourcing, or misleading wording.
Privacy matters
We do not put personal or sensitive user data into AI tools.
Our Content
Articles, guides, broker reviews, and educational pages on Forex.ke are written by humans. We do not use AI to write full articles and pass them off as human work. We also do not use AI to spin old content into thin variations just to fill pages.
That means:
- no AI written articles
- no AI written summaries presented as editorial work
- no AI generated broker reviews
- no AI generated recommendations, ratings, or verdicts
- no publishing without human review and approval
Our writers and editors are responsible for the full process, from first draft to final publication.
In future, there may be cases where AI is used in a narrow support role to help rephrase small portions of human written text for format consistency or duplication control across pages. If that ever happens, the text would still be reviewed by the author and an editor before publication, and it would still need to meet our editorial standards.
Kenya Focus
Forex.ke serves a Kenyan audience, so human oversight matters even more. Local trading conditions, payments, regulation, taxation, market access, and broker availability often require Kenyan context that AI tools can miss, flatten, or get wrong.
That is one reason we do not let AI produce final content. A page meant for readers in Kenya should reflect Kenyan reality, not generic internet filler that could apply anywhere and nowhere at the same time.
Comparison Pages and Structured Content
Some comparison pages, such as Broker A vs Broker B, may be built using structured templates populated with verified information from our broker reviews or editorial database.
This is an automated but non AI process.
That means:
- only manually entered and verified data is used
- a human reviews the source information
- no generative AI is used to invent, summarise, or fill in missing values
- no AI is used to create claims where no verified input exists
This reduces the risk of invented data, distorted comparisons, or AI style guesswork.
Where AI May Be Used
We may use AI in low risk support roles where it helps our team work more efficiently without replacing editorial judgment.
Allowed support uses may include:
Research support
AI may help surface relevant documents more quickly, such as broker terms, pricing pages, official notices, or public filings. We still read the original source before relying on it.
Translation support
AI may assist with translating non English source material. Important details, figures, and terms are checked by a human and may be reviewed against more than one translation method.
Content gap checks
AI may help flag topics, missing sections, or reader questions that are not yet covered well. A human writer decides what to include and writes the final text.
Clarity and consistency checks
AI may point out awkward wording, jargon, inconsistencies, or possible confusion. Humans decide whether any edit should be made.
Error spotting
AI may help detect possible typos, broken references, mismatched numbers, formatting issues, or factual drift. Every flagged issue must still be reviewed by a person.
Topic planning and site improvement
AI may assist with identifying content opportunities, structural improvements, or unanswered search demand. Editorial decisions remain human.
Analytics support
AI may help review traffic patterns, reader behaviour, and content performance to spot gaps or weak pages. It does not decide what gets published.
Put plainly, AI may help us spot things. It does not get the last word.
How We Do Not Use AI
We do not use AI in ways that could weaken trust, authorship, or factual accuracy.
Forex.ke does not use AI to:
- write or rewrite full articles, reviews, guides, or news pages
- generate broker ratings, rankings, pros and cons, or recommendations
- invent facts, quotes, market data, or performance claims
- create fake testimonials or fake expert views
- generate synthetic content and present it as real reporting
- publish unverified AI summaries in place of source based editorial work
- make final editorial decisions without human oversight
If a use of AI risks reducing quality or making a page less trustworthy, we should not use it.
Website Maintenance and Quality Checks
AI tools may be used to support routine site quality checks. These checks do not publish changes by themselves. They are there to identify possible issues faster, not to edit the site without review.
AI assisted checks may help us:
- find broken links
- detect redirect chains
- flag outdated broker details
- identify pages that may need updating after regulatory or product changes
- spot duplicate metadata, formatting issues, or orphan pages
Every item flagged through this process is reviewed by a human before any change is made.
Sources and Citations
AI is not a source.
We do not cite AI systems as evidence, and we do not rely on AI summaries in place of reading the original document. If an AI tool helps surface a useful link, that source must still be opened, read, and checked by a human before it is cited.
Our sourcing rules remain the same whether AI is involved in support work or not:
- facts should come from primary, official, or otherwise strong sources
- citations should support the exact claim being made
- humans must verify what is cited
Data, Privacy, and Security
We aim to keep personal data out of AI tools.
That means:
- no personal or sensitive user data should be entered into AI systems
- private messages, complaints, and submitted personal details should be handled through our own systems or approved providers
- internal drafts and working notes should not be dropped into public chat tools just because it is convenient
Convenience is nice. Compliance is nicer.
Bias and Fairness
AI suggestions can reflect bias, weak assumptions, or poor source judgment. Because of that, we treat AI output as unverified support material, not as editorial truth.
This matters even more for content involving:
- financial risk
- broker comparisons
- regulation
- local market access in Kenya
- payment methods and service availability
Editors should compare AI suggestions against strong sources and discard anything that does not hold up.
Training and Responsibility
People using AI tools on behalf of Forex.ke should understand both the benefits and the risks.
We expect writers, editors, and other team members to follow this policy and use AI only within approved limits. Editorial responsibility remains with humans, not the tool.
Section editors or designated reviewers are responsible for compliance in their areas.
Disclosure
Forex.ke does not currently publish AI generated editorial content as finished articles.
If that ever changes in the future, any such content should be clearly marked on the page so readers know what they are looking at. We do not believe readers should have to guess whether a human wrote a financial page or whether a machine stitched it together.
Changes to This Policy
We may update this policy as tools, standards, and editorial practices change. When we do, we will publish the updated version on this page and revise the effective date.
Where a change materially affects how AI is used on Forex.ke, we should make that clear.
