Editorial Policy
Our standards for accuracy, independence, and transparency.
1. Independence
PickAI is an independent publication. We do not accept payment in exchange for favorable coverage, tool reviews, or "Top 10" placements. If a link is an affiliate link, it will be clearly marked. Our "Trending" algorithms are based on user engagement, not sponsorship.
2. Use of AI in Reporting
We believe in transparency regarding the use of Generative AI in journalism. Our policy is as follows:
- Writing: All reporting and analysis are written by humans. We may use AI for copy-editing (grammar/spelling) or summarization of long technical papers, which are then verified by a human editor.
- Images: Feature images may be generated by AI (e.g., Midjourney). These are always captioned as "Image: AI Generated."
- Verification: We never rely solely on LLMs for factual queries. All claims are verified against primary sources.
3. Corrections
If we make a factual error, we will correct it immediately and note the correction at the bottom of the article. We believe accuracy is the currency of trust.
