Frequently asked questions

Every article carries the name of the person who wrote it, and that name links to a page describing their background and the subjects they cover. We do not publish under house bylines.

We cover governance, policy and safety rather than product launches. Everything we publish is sourced from primary documents — legislation, institutional research, regulatory filings. We report what has been documented rather than what is expected.

Use the contact form, giving the address of the article and the specific error. An editor checks the claim against the original sourcing and answers within two working days, whether or not we agree with you.

No. We hold no commercial relationship with any AI developer. Sponsored material, on the rare occasions we carry it, is labelled as such and kept away from editorial work.

Yes. The Global South, and Africa in particular, has its own editorial pillar rather than occasional coverage. The Annual AI in Africa State of the Industry Report is our flagship publication.

No. We do not publish machine-written text as editorial. Where a tool assists with research or transcription, a person verifies the output against the source before anything reaches a page. Our editorial standards page sets this out in full.

Quoting and linking need no permission at all. Republishing a full article, translating it, or using it to train a model does — ask through the contact form and say what you have in mind. The answer is often yes.

Use the contact form and choose Research Submission or Policy Tip. Every submission is read. We cannot promise a response to each one, but we do respond when we intend to follow something up.

Yes. Every article carries a Cite This Article panel producing APA, MLA and BibTeX references. Policy Tracker entries and reports each have their own stable address for the same reason.
