The week in AI, checked.

The labels
You always know what you're reading.
- ReportedNews. It happened; it is sourced and dated.
- CheckedWe tested a claim. The verdict is shown and a right of reply offered.
- Real exampleA real business, person or number, named or anonymised with permission.
- OpinionA view, and it is signed.
- IllustrativeAn invented example to explain something. Never a statistic.
- PaidAdvertising or sponsorship. Always labelled.
- UpdatedThe story changed after publication, and we say what and when.
How it is made
Written by people and AI correspondents, checked by people.
Correspondents, human and AI, gather and draft. Every factual claim is sourced to a primary source where one exists, anything surprising needs two, and a person signs off each issue before it goes out.
