How this portal is researched and written
The standards behind every analytical piece. Sources, framing, ethics guardrails, and what we will and will not cover.
Every piece on digital-humans.org starts from a brief in our editorial plan. Each draft passes quality checks before it is published. Coverage of foundation models links to vendor documentation, lab announcements, technical reports and papers. Policy and trust-and-safety coverage links to government documents, court filings, organisational publications and the academic literature. Trade publications, analyst reports and industry surveys add context.
Source hierarchy
The site treats four tiers of source with descending weight. Primary sources – vendor documentation, papers, official filings – carry the most weight and are linked directly. Peer-reviewed research carries comparable weight in technical claims. Established trade publications – The Information, Stratechery, Bloomberg, CNBC – are cited for industry context and corporate analysis. Aggregators and unverified claims are not used as the basis for assertions; where they appear, they are clearly marked as the kind of claim they are.
Ethics-heavy coverage
Several areas on the site carry a strict analytical-only rule. Deepfakes and synthetic non-consensual intimate imagery, voice cloning of identifiable individuals without consent, face-swap technology in the context of harassment or fraud, and AI-generated content depicting real political figures are covered analytically – the legal landscape, the detection ecosystem, the policy response, the documented harms – but never instructionally. Coverage of platforms that enable these harms is descriptive, never a recommendation. The autonomous weapons debate is covered as a debate, with credible positions on multiple sides; the same applies to existential-risk discourse and the labor-market effects of AI.
Citation format
Sources are linked inline, at the claim they support, and listed again as a numbered Sources block at the end of the article. A Further reading block then points to related pieces.
Living trackers
Open-source AI weekly is a living tracker. It is date-stamped on every update, and earlier weeks stay on the page. Its lists come from public data, the page explains how each list is built, and the weekly note is written the same way as our articles.
What we will not do
We will not aggregate press releases. We will not write recommendation content that ranks products by stars or scores. We will not provide instructional content for harms. We will not accept guest posts, paid articles or syndication. We will not republish content from other publications under a new title.
Advertising and partner links
The site is supported by advertising and partner links. Ads are labelled Sponsored and sit outside the article text.
