Note about our use of Artificial Intelligence:
On Point uses Descript, an AI transcription tool to create the first draft of episode transcripts. An On Point producer then thoroughly reviews, corrects, and reformats the transcript before publication. The use of this AI tool creates the capacity to provide episode transcripts for you.
On Point also uses Descript to transcribe interviews producers conduct with sources before the broadcast. A producer then reviews and corrects the transcripts before they are included in the host’s briefing materials.
The use of this AI tool enables the host to consider a wide array of perspectives and be more thoroughly prepared.
Any other use of AI in the production of On Point will be acknowledged at the time and will be subject to WBUR’s guidelines on the use of Generative AI, and the unassailable principle that humans lead everything On Point produces.
