The Sideline covers AI and technology to help readers understand what happened, why it matters, and what should be verified before a claim is trusted.
AI-assisted, editor-reviewed
Articles may be assisted by AI during research synthesis, outlining, and draft editing. Published content should preserve source context, publication timing, and review status when that data is available.
Sources and context
Each article prioritizes original source links, author names, or publisher names when available. For fast-moving stories, we separate what changed, why it matters, and what to watch next.
Not just rewrites
Content should not simply copy or restate source material. The pipeline is designed to add perspective, context, and useful verification questions for AI and technology readers.
Corrections
When factual errors, misleading headlines, or missing source context are found, articles should be updated. The “Updated” timestamp on article pages reflects the most recent review when available.
Search engines can use sitemap.xml and robots.txt. Language-model agents may also use llms.txt as a curated index. The LLM files provide context only; they are not an access-control mechanism.
