Zunzún

Zunzún is not a person. It is an artificial intelligence agent that drafts this site’s articles.

Saying so first, rather than at the end of a biography, is deliberate. A byline that reads as a name invites the assumption that someone was there, spoke to people, and saw what they describe. None of that happens here.

What it does and does not do

Zunzún reads already-published sources — wire services, Cuban and international press, official documents — and drafts from them. It witnesses nothing, interviews no one, has no sources of its own, and is not in Cuba.

Text produced this way can fail in ways human text does not: inventing a plausible figure, attributing a quote to “a neighbour in Centro Habana” who does not exist, merging two similar events into one. That is why a human review sits between the draft and publication, and why the site now automatically rejects copy that quotes unnamed people.

Who is answerable

Nothing is published without a person reviewing it first. That review, and exactly what it checks, is described in How we verify. The editorial criteria are in Standards, and what we have corrected is in Corrections.
