Editorial policy, AI disclosure and corrections
Last updated: 20 August 2026
What TickrWire publishes
TickrWire covers one subject: artificial intelligence. We publish explanatory coverage of AI model releases, research results, funding and acquisitions, regulation, hardware, tooling and the security questions that follow from all of it. Our readers are developers, technical leaders and investors who need to understand a development quickly and accurately.
We are not a wire service and we do not claim to be first. We aim to be the version of a story that explains what actually changed, what it builds on, and what is still unresolved.
How we choose and read sources
We monitor public feeds and blogs from primary sources, including research labs, company engineering blogs, preprint servers, regulators and established technology publications. Each source is scored for reliability, and that score is one input into whether a development is worth covering at all.
Before we write anything, we read the original report in full. We do not write from headlines or feed snippets. Where a development is covered by several outlets, we group those reports together and treat the primary announcement as the authoritative account.
AI disclosure
We use AI to produce our coverage, and we say so on every article. Each article page carries an "AI-assisted, human-reviewed" label linking here. Specifically:
- A large language model reads the original source report and drafts our explainer, the key takeaways, the audience relevance notes and the glossary. That draft is original writing about the development, not a reproduction of the source's text.
- The same system assigns each item an editorial score. Items below our quality threshold are never published. Items whose draft does not reach our minimum depth are held for a human rather than published thin.
- We do not use AI to generate images of real events, to fabricate quotes, or to attribute statements to people who did not make them.
- We do not publish AI-written material that we cannot trace back to a named public source. Every article links to the report it was written from.
AI-assisted writing can be wrong in ways human writing is not, including confident statements that the source does not support. We treat every such error as a correction, not a quirk. See below.
Human oversight
Coverage is produced under the direction of the TickrWire editorial desk, which sets the editorial policy the AI pipeline applies, reviews items the pipeline holds back, spot-checks published output against the original sources, and handles every correction request.
Articles are bylined "TickrWire Editorial Desk" rather than to an individual writer, because the drafting is machine-assisted. We do not attribute our writing to the journalists who reported the original story: their work is credited and linked as the source.
Attribution and original reporting
Every article states the report it was written from and links to it with a followable link. We quote sparingly and never reproduce a source's article in full or in substantial part. If you believe we have used more of your work than fair dealing allows, write to us and we will cut it back or remove the page.
Where an article carries a cover image sourced from the original report, it is used to identify the story being discussed and credited to that source. Rights holders can ask us to remove any image and we will do so on request, without argument.
Accuracy standards
- Every factual claim must be supported by the linked source.
- Numbers, dates, model names and company names are taken from the source, not inferred.
- Where a source is speculative or unconfirmed, we say so in the article.
- Where coverage of a development is one-sided or promotional, we note that.
- We do not publish rumour presented as fact, and we do not publish paid coverage of any kind.
Corrections policy
If an article is wrong, we want to know, and fixing it takes priority over anything else on the site.
- Email editorial@tickrwire.tech with the article URL and what is wrong. You can also use our contact form.
- We aim to respond within 2 working days.
- A material factual error is corrected in place and the article's modification date is updated, so the change is visible to readers and to search engines.
- An article that cannot be corrected, for example one written from a source that was itself retracted, is unpublished rather than left standing.
- Takedown requests from rights holders are actioned on receipt, and we discuss the substance afterwards rather than before.
Independence and funding
TickrWire is funded by advertising. Advertisers have no input into what we cover or how we cover it, no advance sight of coverage, and no ability to have a page changed or removed. We do not publish sponsored articles, paid reviews or affiliate-driven coverage dressed as news. If that ever changes, any such content will be labelled as advertising before you read a word of it.
See our Privacy Policy for what advertising means for your data.
