Editorial Policy

These standards apply to everything AI & Technologies News publishes. Accuracy comes before speed.

Sourcing

• We rely first on primary sources: official announcements and blogs, regulatory filings, court documents, legislation and original research papers.
• When a fact comes only from another publication, we say so (“according to …”) and link to it.
• Numbers and benchmarks always carry their unit, date and the conditions they were measured under.
• Anonymous sources are used only when the information is important and cannot be obtained on the record. An editor must know the source’s identity.

News, analysis and opinion

Every article carries a label at the top, so you always know what you are reading.

• News reports what happened, based on sources we name. It does not argue for a view.
• Analysis explains what the news means. It interprets facts we have verified and keeps reporting and interpretation apart.
• Opinion is the named author's own view, labelled “Opinion” and published under Insights › Opinion.
• Reviews and Guides follow their own published methods.

Quotes and expert insight

We quote experts only from interviews our reporters conducted or from statements published elsewhere, and every quote links to where it came from. We never invent quotes, put a paraphrase in quotation marks or generate quotes with AI. If an article has no sourced expert view, it has no expert section.

Verification

• No story is published until an editor has reviewed it.
• Information we could not verify is marked Unverified in the text, says who claims it, and needs approval from the editor-in-chief. Our fact-checking process explains the steps.
• Charts and datasets list their source and a methodology note, and we publish the underlying data where we can.

Corrections

We correct factual errors within 24 hours of confirming them (see the Corrections Policy). A dated “Correction” note at the end of the article explains what changed. Minor fixes to spelling or style are made without a note. To report an error, use the Contact page.

How we use AI

We use AI tools to summarise source material, suggest headlines, translate, check spelling and sort incoming wire items by topic. AI tools never publish articles, never invent quotes or figures and never write reviews. Every article has a named human author who is responsible for it. Images created with AI are labelled “AI-generated illustration”.

Reviews

Reviews follow a published scoring method. We buy products or say clearly when a company supplied a review unit. Companies do not see reviews before publication. Affiliate links, when used, are disclosed and never affect scores.

Independence and sponsorship

Sponsored content is labelled “Sponsored”, sits outside news sections and is never written by our newsroom staff.

Copyright and the wire

Our automated wire shows only headlines, short excerpts and links to the original publishers. We do not republish full articles. Our own articles are written in our own words: we quote other outlets briefly, in quotation marks, with a link, and the CMS flags text that matches wire excerpts word for word before an editor can publish it.

Formats

We publish articles, images, charts, data and documents. We do not produce, download, host or scrape video. When an organisation we cover has published a relevant video on its official YouTube channel, an article may embed it. The channel is checked against our list of official channels before publication, the embed is labelled with the channel name, and YouTube's player loads only when a reader presses Play. An embedded video illustrates a story; it never replaces the written reporting or the sources behind it.
