Editorial policy

Our standard is simple: readers should be able to tell what happened, where the claim came from, and what part is our analysis.

Primary sources first

Release coverage starts with official product announcements, documentation, system cards, research papers, and regulator guidance. Secondary reporting may add context, but it does not replace the primary record.

Testing and reviews

A review must identify the version, plan, test date, task, and meaningful limitations. We do not describe vendor demonstrations as independent tests. Comparative claims are scoped to the work actually performed.

AI-assisted production

Many news articles are produced with AI assistance. Each one starts from a primary source chosen for a real launch or announcement. An AI model drafts the article using only that source, a second AI pass checks every factual claim against the same source and removes anything it does not support, and automated checks enforce our structure, attribution, and style rules before publication. Articles never claim hands-on testing that did not happen, and vendor claims are attributed to the vendor.

The editor, Mohamed Aminar, sets these rules, chooses the sources the system may draw on, and is accountable for every published article. The site does not publish scraped or lightly rewritten pages, and an article that fails a check is not published.

AI Futures: original fiction

The AI Futures desk publishes original short stories and thought experiments about where AI could go. They are written with AI assistance from premises chosen by the editor, and they are fiction: every story carries a fiction label, its characters, companies and events are invented, and real people and companies are never shown doing things they did not do. Each story ends with the real science it builds on, checked against a named source, so readers can tell the imagined parts from the facts.

Corrections

Material factual corrections are applied promptly. Updated articles display a reviewed date, and significant changes should be noted inside the article when they alter the conclusion.

Commercial independence

Advertising and affiliate eligibility do not determine ratings, inclusion, or conclusions. Paid placement must be labeled as advertising or sponsorship and kept distinct from editorial rankings.
