Editorial purpose
AI Engineering Collective publishes work that helps readers understand how AI systems are designed, built, evaluated, deployed, operated, and improved. We also examine the tools, products, teams, research, and industry decisions that shape AI engineering. We value useful knowledge, original thinking, honest experience, fair analysis, and evidence-based argument.
Selection and review
Editors consider relevance, originality, clarity, accuracy, technical or analytical substance, reader value, rights, disclosure, and fit. A submission may be declined even when it is well written. Publication is an editorial decision, not an endorsement of every view expressed by an author.
Evidence and attribution
Claims involving facts, numbers, benchmarks, pricing, research, incidents, funding, quotes, or product behavior should be supported by appropriate sources. Primary sources are preferred where practical. Authors must distinguish fact, inference, opinion, and personal experience.
External reporting, papers, documentation, data, code, images, and ideas must be credited. Fabricated citations, invented quotes, undisclosed copying, and misleading attribution are unacceptable.
Independence and conflicts
Authors and editors should disclose relevant employment, sponsorship, investment, client, product, or personal interests. Promotional material is unlikely to be accepted unless it offers genuine independent technical or analytical value. Sponsored or paid relationships, if accepted, must be labeled clearly.
Fairness and harm
Strong criticism and opinion are welcome when grounded in evidence and presented fairly. We avoid harassment, discrimination, doxxing, unnecessary exposure of private information, deceptive editing, and allegations presented without reasonable support. Where serious claims concern identifiable people or organizations, we may seek comment or additional evidence before publication.
Editing and headlines
Editors may revise headlines, subtitles, structure, formatting, grammar, clarity, tags, media, and minor wording. Headlines should accurately represent the article and should not rely on unsupported certainty, sensationalism, or clickbait.
Corrections and accountability
We correct material errors and consider reasonable update requests. See the Corrections Policy. Concerns may be sent to aiengineeringcollective@gmail.com.
