If we publish something wrong, we correct it at the top of the article with the date and a short description of the change. We do not quietly edit facts out of a story.
How to report an error
Write to corrections@aiobserver.news. It helps if you include:
- the link to the article
- the sentence or figure you think is wrong
- a source that shows the correct information, if you have one
We aim to reply within two working days. We check every report against the article’s sources.
What a correction looks like
A correction goes at the top of the article, above the first paragraph, in this form:
Correction, 30 October 2026: An earlier version of this article gave the wrong price for the Pro plan. It is $20 a month, not $25. (This is a sample.)
The note says what was wrong and what is right. We fix the error in the text at the same time, and we do not change the original publication date.
Corrections, updates and clarifications
Corrections
We publish a correction when a fact was wrong: a name, a number, a date, a quote, a price or a claim about what a product or law does.
Updates
Sometimes a story changes after we publish, for example when a company responds or a regulator issues new guidance. We add the new information and show the article as updated. That is not a correction, because the original was right at the time.
Clarifications
When a story was accurate but could be read the wrong way, we rewrite the passage and add a short dated note explaining the change.
Typos and broken links
We fix spelling mistakes, formatting and broken links without a note, as long as the meaning does not change.
Images and headlines
The same rules apply to headlines, summaries, captions and images. If an AI-generated image could mislead readers about what happened, we replace it and note the change.
Removing articles
We do not remove articles because someone dislikes them. We may remove or change content that is seriously inaccurate and cannot be fixed with a correction, or that breaks the law or someone else’s rights. If we remove an article, we say so on the page where it was.
How we catch our own errors
Each weekday, our editor reviews the stories published that day against their sources, with help from AI tools. Errors we find ourselves get the same dated note as errors readers report. Our editorial policy explains the rest of our checks.
If you are not satisfied
If you disagree with how we handled your report, reply to our answer and explain why. We will look at it again and explain our decision in writing.
