Use of AI-assisted tools
Some content on this website may have been drafted, structured, edited, translated, summarized, or refined with the support of commercially available AI-assisted tools.
AI-assisted tools may also be used to support research structuring, language refinement, formatting, ideation, editorial review, or the generation of illustrative concepts. The final selection, assessment, interpretation, editorial responsibility, and publication decision remain with me.
Where content is substantially AI-generated, AI-assisted, or AI-manipulated in a way that is relevant for the reader’s understanding, this may be indicated in the respective article, publication note, image caption, footer, or other appropriate context.
AI-assisted preparation does not replace professional judgment, source review, human editorial control, or accountability for the final published content.
