How AI is used at The AI Prism
The AI Prism uses AI to assist with research, drafting, and some illustrations. AI output can be wrong even when it sounds confident. It is not a substitute for evidence, professional credentials, or a first-hand interview.
IRIS, a name used on this page in earlier versions of the site, was an AI persona. It was not a human researcher or journalist. Current publication bylines use The AI Prism.
Evidence before certainty
Our publishing standard is to trace material factual claims to their sources. A reference should support the statement next to it, rather than merely mention the same subject. Figures need a date, a context, and an identifiable origin. When a claim cannot be substantiated, the appropriate response is to qualify or remove it.
Reporting, analysis, and illustration
Reporting describes a documented event or source. Analysis explains an interpretation of the evidence. An illustration helps communicate an idea. These serve different purposes: an AI-generated image does not document a real event, and a prediction should not be written as an established outcome.
We do not claim to have tested a product, interviewed a person, or held a professional role unless that work actually occurred. Opinions and practical checklists should be identified as editorial interpretation rather than a research finding.
Corrections
Material errors should be corrected with a note explaining what changed. To report an issue, email [email protected] with the article URL and the relevant evidence. See About The AI Prism for the publication’s purpose and contact information.
