Primary sources first
For product launches, research, policy positions and security disclosures, Horn Updates prefers the original announcement, paper, system card, filing or official document. Reputable independent reporting is used when primary material is unavailable or when outside verification is essential.
Vendor claims are labeled
AI companies frequently publish benchmark, safety and capability claims about their own systems. We attribute those claims to the company and do not present them as independently proven simply because they appear in an official announcement.
Automation and AI assistance
Automation may monitor approved sources and place candidate links into an editorial inbox. AI tools may assist with research organization, comparison, drafting, editing and coding. Candidate discovery is not publication. A story must have an identifiable source and be deliberately promoted into the public feed after review.
No synthetic volume
Horn Updates does not aim to maximize article count. We do not intentionally publish mass-produced paraphrases of other outlets, fabricated quotes, invented sources or pages whose primary purpose is search traffic. When there is no worthwhile update, publishing nothing is an acceptable editorial decision.
Fact, analysis and opinion
Reported facts should be traceable to cited material. Analysis explains implications and is identified by context and wording. Personal opinion is labeled separately and reflects the named contributor rather than the publication's reporting process.
Corrections
Readers may request a correction at admin@hornupdates.com. Include the page URL and supporting evidence. Material changes are corrected on the article and the updated date is changed when appropriate.
Independence and advertising
Advertisers, governments, political organizations, source companies and technology vendors do not receive editorial approval over Horn Updates coverage. Advertising is kept separate from editorial content. Sponsored content, if introduced, will be clearly labeled.
Legacy archive
Horn Updates previously focused on Horn of Africa regional analysis. Those pages may remain available as an archive, but they are not evidence of the current AI-news editorial focus and are not automatically promoted on the current homepage.
