AI Policy Daily has to be fast to keep up with the pace of the technology. AI tools help us track an enormous amount of news every day. That said, people still rigorously edit and check every edition before it goes out. This page explains our process.
Our standard
We hold every issue to three tests: accuracy, timeliness, and relevance. Accuracy means the facts are right: names, dates, figures, and language that appropriately characterizes events. Timeliness means you get it while it still matters. Relevance means we run what is worth your time and skip what is not.
How an issue comes together
Each day's edition goes through several stages.
- Collection. All day, our system watches a broad set of sources: federal agencies and registers, Congress, the courts, company announcements, research outlets, and established reporting. We collect thousands of updates across verified sources each day.
- Drafting. A set of AI models, each with a specific job, ranks and sorts the day's news, writes the first summaries, and lays them out in our standard sections. This allows our small team to cover far more ground than we possibly could by hand.
- Review. Every morning, the whole team goes through the draft by hand, checking every story and every link for accuracy and relevance before the edition goes out. Nothing is sent without that pass.
- After publication. Issues stay open to correction once they are out. See our Corrections page.
How we use AI
We use AI heavily to accelerate and streamline our process. It handles the sourcing, first-pass drafting, and initial fact checking of each edition. Dozens of agents run in sequence, each with one narrow job, from scanning sources to organizing and summarizing what they find. This is how we track hundreds of sources and thousands of articles a day without cutting corners. Our human team decides what runs.
Sourcing and citations
We cite a source for everything we publish and link to the original wherever there is one, so you can check any item yourself and go deeper. We also pull in other reporting on the same story when possible, so you get more than one account and the context around it.
Our home
AI Policy Daily is published and funded by the AI Policy Institute (AIPI), a research and polling nonprofit focused on AI. AIPI runs national polls on how Americans view AI and publishes research for lawmakers, journalists, and the public. AIPI's work has helped shape national conversations on AI policy and is frequently cited in outlets like Politico, Fox News, TIME and Axios, amongst others.
