YYSI Editorial Standards & Corrections

Updated November 3, 2026

Sources before claims

We prioritize original announcements, documents, research, and directly inspectable pages. A collected headline is a candidate for research, not a verified story. We distinguish a publisher’s claims from independently established facts. Release dates, access conditions, prices, and numerical claims need current sources.

News selection

We cover important AI developments across companies, universities, public institutions and countries: models, agents, products, research, infrastructure, robotics, investment, policy, security and consequential adoption. Company directories help discovery; they are not an eligibility list. Routine patches or promotional items without a substantive new development are not a publication target. Short briefings link to original sources and include context or practical implications. An old announcement newly added to our archive is not described as breaking news. Multiple reports about the same event should update the existing story rather than create duplicate pages. We do not publish unsupported rumors as confirmed releases.

Dates and observations

An event date, a source’s publication date, and the date we observed a webpage are different. We label those differences. Observing a term on one page does not prove an organization-wide rename; a failed fetch proves no naming status.

Analysis, testing, and satire

Interpretation is labeled as YYSI analysis. We do not invent product tests, user experience, benchmarks, interviews, or statistics. Comparisons state their basis and limitations. Fictional terminology and entertainment tools are labeled separately from factual explainers.

Automated source-linked briefs

Short briefs marked AI-assisted are collected from official company sources and selected news publishers. Official-source briefs and attributed media reports carry different labels. Media reports are not presented as official announcements or independent YYSI investigations. Search results and unverified domains are discovery leads, not publication evidence. DeepSeek helps discover sources and prepare English/Chinese summaries. Automated checks cover source hosts, source dates, duplicate URLs and supporting text; they are not human fact-checking or independent product tests. Items that fail checks remain unpublished. Each brief links to its source and labels the source and YYSI publication dates. Corrections can be sent to the publisher.

AI-assisted production

AI tools assist with research, drafting, editing, and software maintenance. We use source verification and publication checks, but those checks cannot guarantee that every error will be caught. The publisher remains responsible for the material. Where an article reports testing, the described tests must actually have been performed.

Original contribution and rights

Our aim is to add useful explanation, comparison, and context rather than reproduce source articles. We link to sources, limit quotations, and use original or clearly permitted media. Source access alone is not permission to republish its text or images. Uncertain claims or media permissions should remain unpublished pending clarification.

Corrections and updates

Send the page URL, disputed claim, and supporting evidence to [email protected]. Substantive factual corrections should be explained on the affected page. Routine formatting fixes do not need a correction notice. Updated articles should distinguish new developments from corrections to earlier reporting.

The timeline records the October 20 corrections to the UN speech date and unsupported historical claims. Previously unsupported GSI terminology is now identified as fictional in the dictionary.

Tool directory

Tool descriptions are original summaries based on linked official vendor pages. Listings are not hands-on reviews or objective rankings. We avoid unsupported pricing and performance claims. Readers should verify current plans, access and terms at the vendor. Chinese summaries link clearly to English long-form reporting.

Commercial relationships

Sponsored material and affiliate relationships must be clearly disclosed when present. A commission is not evidence that a product is best for every reader. We do not manufacture traffic, clicks, endorsements, or reviews.
