The Paper

About & Editorial Standards

Artificial Record is an independent news publication that distills the artificial intelligence industry into a single, source-backed daily briefing. We exist for the people who need to understand what is actually happening in AI — and why it matters — without wading through hype, speculation, or noise. Each edition is published once per day and reads in a few minutes.

Who it's for

Artificial Record is written for the professionals who live in or adjacent to the AI industry and need a reliable, fast read on the day's developments:

  • Founders building AI companies who need to track competitors, models, and capital.
  • Operators running teams that depend on AI infrastructure and tooling.
  • Students and researchers learning the shape of the industry in real time.
  • Investors following deals, valuations, and public-market signals.
  • Consultants advising clients on AI strategy and adoption.
  • Professionals in policy, law, finance, and adjacent fields affected by AI.

Who builds it

Artificial Record is researched, written, and published by an independent editorial team focused on the artificial intelligence industry. The publication is built and maintained by its founders and a small staff of editors who handle sourcing, writing, and review. We are not affiliated with any AI lab, cloud provider, or vendor, and no outside organization has a role in what we cover or how we cover it.

Editorial standards

How we decide what gets in, and how we write it.

1

Every claim is source-backed.

Every factual assertion in Artificial Record links to a primary or credible secondary source. If we cannot point to where a claim came from, we do not print it.

2

No hype language.

We do not use superlatives, breathless adjectives, or promotional framing. Models are not "game-changing," rounds are not "massive," and we do not editorialize excitement. We describe what happened and let the reader judge.

3

No financial advice.

Artificial Record is a news summary, not investment guidance. Mentions of companies, securities, or market movements are reporting — never recommendations. See the disclaimer in our footer.

4

Significance over volume.

We prioritize what matters over what is merely new. A quiet regulatory filing that changes the rules for an entire sector outranks a flashy product demo. We would rather publish five important items than fifty trivial ones.

5

Cautious language for uncertain developments.

When a story is unconfirmed, developing, or contested, we say so. We use words like "reported," "according to," "expected," and "pending" rather than presenting rumor as fact. We distinguish what a company announced from what it has actually shipped.

6

Reliance on credible sources.

We draw from official company announcements and filings, government and regulatory sources, major financial news outlets, and credible research. We weight primary sources above all others and treat unsourced leaks with appropriate skepticism.

Independence

Artificial Record is an editorially independent publication. We are not sponsored by any AI lab, cloud provider, or vendor, and editorial decisions are made without advertiser input. Every factual claim we publish is source-linked; if we cannot point to where a claim came from, we do not print it.

If Artificial Record ever accepts advertising or sponsorship, it will be clearly labeled as such and kept entirely separate from editorial content. Paid promotion will never be presented as reporting, and no sponsor will have input into what we cover or how we cover it. If these terms ever change, we will say so here, plainly.
