About and editorial policy

A plain-English, UK-facing reference guide to superintelligence. This page is the public commitment behind every other page on the site.

Who runs it

Superintelligence Guide is written and edited by an independent UK editorial team. Pages are bylined "Editorial team" until individual author pages are added. Contact details are on the contact page.

What we publish

Evergreen reference pages on superintelligence and AGI, how they might arrive, their risks, the organisations building frontier AI, and the UK’s position, each reviewed on a stated schedule. A short weekly digest is planned but has not launched. We do not run an automated news feed. We would rather have fifty pages that are right and current than five hundred that are neither.

Standards every page meets

• A byline, a publication date and a "last reviewed" date at the top, and a review interval (monthly, quarterly, twice a year or yearly).
• Factual claims about a person, company, product or policy are sourced, to the primary source wherever one exists: the original announcement, the paper, the regulator's page, the Hansard record. Where a page relies on a press report instead, the source list labels it as secondary.
• Plain English and UK spelling. Prices in pounds. UK law and UK regulators where they apply.
• Political developments are reported, not editorialised: what was said, when, by whom, and what others said in reply.
• Where the evidence is thin or contested, the page says so in the first paragraph, not the last.
• Nothing is published unread by a human.

How the weekly digest will be produced

When the digest launches, software will collect candidate stories from a fixed list of sources (the frontier labs' own announcements, the UK AI Security Institute, gov.uk, the Ada Lovelace Institute, and a handful of established technology desks) and draft a short summary of each. A human editor will then read every item, cut what is not worth your time, rewrite what is, check each link against its source, and publish. The software drafts; a person decides.

How sponsorship works

• Sponsored pages carry a visible "Sponsored content" notice at the top, name the sponsor, and are marked as sponsored in the page's structured data.
• Sponsors get a defined slot and an association with the site. They do not get editorial control, approval rights, or advance sight of unsponsored pages.
• One sponsor per slot, exclusive by category.
• We do not currently use affiliate links. If that changes, this page will say so, and affected pages will carry a disclosure.
