Editorial & AI Policy

Evidence first. AI in service of reporting.

Laplace Atlas uses software and AI to monitor public information and produce original reporting about artificial intelligence. The same standards of evidence apply whether work is done by software or by a person.

Editorial scope

Our focus is artificial intelligence: companies, models, research, products, infrastructure, policy, financing, and market activity. Funding is the first fully structured event type, not the limit of the publication.

How reporting is produced

Laplace Atlas monitors official announcements, research feeds, company publications, and independent reporting. We remove duplicates, identify the companies and events involved, and compare important claims across the available evidence. We write articles from the resulting facts instead of paraphrasing a single source.

Use of AI

AI may help decide whether material is relevant, extract facts, identify companies, connect related reports, and prepare drafts. Software handles routine tasks such as duplicate detection, dates, links, and database checks. Model output is not treated as fact. It must pass our checks before publication.

Publication controls

We hold items that fail our checks, cannot be identified confidently, or lack enough evidence. Published facts can still change. Primary sources may correct announcements and credible reports may disagree. Stories should state any important uncertainty plainly.

Originality and sources

We write in our own editorial style from verified facts. We do not republish source articles or use their prose as our article body. Source links appear only in a short “Read further” section so readers can inspect the evidence.

Quotes, images, and synthetic media

Quotes must be traceable to a source and are not invented. AI-generated or materially altered images, audio, or video must be labelled clearly. We do not present synthetic depictions of real events as documentary evidence.

Conflicts and commercial influence

Advertising, sponsorship, investment relationships, or commercial partnerships must not determine editorial conclusions. Material conflicts relevant to a story should be disclosed.

Corrections and accountability

Substantive corrections are recorded and significant changes should appear in the story’s update history. Requests can be submitted through the Corrections page. Editorial responsibility remains with Laplace Atlas, not with an AI provider.
