Editorial principles

AI finds the signal. Evidence keeps it honest.

Effective 14 September 2026

Selection

AIAF Zero selects five developments based on consequence, novelty, evidence quality, durability and relevance to humanity. One becomes the Lead Signal and may carry a measurable forecast. Popularity alone is not sufficient.

Forecasting and the Ledger

Every forecast is published before the outcome is known and includes a probability, deadline and resolution rule. Its original wording remains visible. At the deadline, AIAF records the outcome as correct, incorrect or unresolved and links the evidence used for resolution. Forecasts express editorial judgment, not certainty or financial advice.

Supervised launch

AI researches, prioritises, connects and drafts. The human owner authorises routine publication under standing editorial instructions and reviews exceptions, disputed claims and material decisions. AI-generated wording may be edited before release.

Sources and uncertainty

Primary sources are preferred. Credible independent reporting is used when primary evidence is unavailable or contested. Articles distinguish reported fact, AIAF analysis and uncertainty.

Independence

Editorial selection is not sold. Future sponsorship or commercial relationships will be disclosed and separated from editorial judgment.

Corrections

Material factual errors will be corrected visibly. Forecasts are not silently rewritten after publication. A correction will state what changed and when. Send correction requests through the Contact page.
