Integrity encompasses both the way in which knowledge is produced and the way

in which it is communicated, evaluated, edited, published, corrected and preserved.

Article 8. Principle of non-delegable human responsibility

Any work, evaluation, recommendation or decision supported by artificial intelligence must

remain under the direction, supervision and responsibility of an identifiable person.

III. To the risk of error or damage.

IV. To the sensitivity of the information.

V. To the role played by artificial intelligence.

Institutional Declaration

Agricultural Leader recognizes that scientific and technological progress requires new forms of

creation, collaboration and communication of knowledge.

Artificial intelligence is a tool capable of expanding capabilities

human rights, will facilitate access to information, overcome linguistic barriers, strengthen

scientific dissemination and favor editorial innovation.

Its use will be compatible with the mission of the magazine when it remains subordinate to

responsibility, critical judgment, transparency, verification and contribution

human intellectual.

The magazine will not evaluate the integrity of a work exclusively by the number of

artificial intelligence used nor by the static appearance of its writing. The valuation

will focus on the existence of identifiable people who understand, verify,

approve and fully accept the content presented.

The ethical border will not be established between human creation and technological assistance, but

between responsible innovation and deceptive substitution; between transparency and

concealment; between verification and automatic acceptance; between the human author

increased and production without responsibility.

All technology must be at the service of knowledge, and all published knowledge

It must be kept by a person responsible for its integrity.
