Editorial Policy

Our standard for covering a fast-moving field: make the evidence inspectable, be exact about uncertainty, and preserve what was said when it was said.

We do not claim independent testing unless a result is explicitly identified as such and supported by its method and source.

Claims and evidence

A demonstration or announcement is a starting point, not a substitute for evidence. We distinguish observed results from a company’s description, announced plans, estimates, and cautious interpretation. “Autonomous,” “deployed,” “available,” and “sold” require context; a company-reported result remains company-reported.

Sources and attribution

We prioritize primary materials where practical, including technical papers, public filings, standards documents, company announcements, demonstrations, and named customer or public-body statements. Sources have different interests and evidentiary value. A link is a trail for readers to inspect, not independent verification.

We do not invent reporting, interviews, bylines, or newsroom credentials. Generated text and summaries are not evidence; AI assistance does not independently verify facts. Published factual material remains subject to human review against available sources.

AI assistance

AI-assisted tools may support organization, drafting, or copy refinement but do not replace human review or source checking. Synthetic media is not documentary evidence of a real robot or event.

Corrections and archive

Material factual corrections should be described with a date and concise explanation. An update adds later information; it does not imply the original article anticipated it. We aim to retain published articles and canonical URLs, preserving original dates and historical claims rather than silently rewriting forecasts or targets.
