Editorial Policy & AI Use

AI Herald is an AI-assisted publication. This page explains exactly how that works, so you can judge our reporting for yourself.

How an article is made

1. Story selection. We monitor public feeds from established outlets, including TechCrunch, The Verge, Ars Technica, MIT Technology Review and VentureBeat, along with company blogs such as OpenAI, Google AI and Hugging Face. The most significant story that we have not already covered is chosen.
2. Reading the sources. The full text of the original reporting is retrieved and used as the only material for the article.
3. Writing. A large language model writes the article from that material, under instructions to use only what the sources contain and to mark analysis as analysis.
4. Checking. A second pass compares the draft against the sources and removes or corrects claims they do not support. If a check would remove a large part of an article, the article is not published.
5. Publishing. The article is published with its sources listed at the end.

What AI does and does not do

• AI does: select stories, draft articles, write headlines and summaries, check drafts against sources, and generate the illustrations.
• AI does not: conduct original interviews, attend events, or obtain information that is not in the cited sources. We do not publish quotes that we cannot trace to a source.
• Images are AI-generated abstract illustrations. They are labelled as such and never depict real people or real events.

Sources and credit

Every news article lists the reporting it is based on, with a link to each original. We summarise and credit, we do not republish. The reporters who broke a story deserve your click, and we encourage you to read the original.

Accuracy and its limits

AI systems can make mistakes, including stating something that sounds plausible but is not in the sources. Our checking step is designed to catch this, and it does not catch everything. Treat AI Herald as a starting point and follow the sources for anything that matters to you.

Corrections

Tell us about an error at hello@aiherald.tech with a link to the article and what is wrong. We correct the article and, when a correction changes the meaning of the story, add a note at the end saying what changed and when. Articles that cannot be corrected are removed and the reason recorded.

Analysis and predictions

Articles in our Future section are analysis, not reporting. They describe what could happen, based on developments that have already been reported. They are never presented as fact and should not be read as investment, legal or career advice.

Independence and funding

AI Herald has no sponsors and accepts no payment for coverage. If advertising or affiliate links are introduced, they will be labelled, and coverage decisions will remain independent of them.

Changes to this policy

We update this page when our process changes, and the date at the top always shows the latest version.
