How we write about AI

AI moves faster than most publishing can keep up with, so we are explicit about our method: claims are traced back to primary sources, capabilities are described as documented rather than assumed, and articles are revised when the underlying tools change.

  • Claims are linked to primary sources, not to other blogs.
  • Where something is unverified, we say so in the article.
  • Articles are dated and updated as tools change.
  • Our use of AI in production is disclosed in full.
