AI Usage Policy

As a publication covering Artificial Intelligence, we believe in radical transparency regarding how we use the technology ourselves.

The Golden Rule: A human editor is always responsible for the final published word. AI is a tool for our journalists, never a replacement for them.

What AI Does For Us

  • Data Analysis: We use LLMs to rapidly process earnings reports, technical whitepapers, and legislative documents to surface key insights.
  • Translation: We utilize machine translation to monitor international AI developments, particularly in non-English speaking markets.
  • Coding & Visualization: We use AI coding assistants to help build interactive data visualizations and tools for our website.
  • Copy Editing: Grammarly and custom LLM prompts are used to check for passive voice, structural issues, and grammatical errors.

What AI Does NOT Do

  • Generative Reporting: We do not use AI to generate full articles from scratch.
  • Interviews: All quotes are gathered by human reporters interacting with human subjects (unless explicitly stated that we are interviewing an AI).
  • Final Review: An AI cannot hit "Publish." Every piece of content is reviewed and fact-checked by a human editor.

Image Generation

If an image is generated using AI (e.g., Midjourney, DALL-E), it will be clearly labeled in the caption. We do not use AI-generated images to depict real historical events, real people in false contexts, or photojournalistic scenes.
