AI Transparency

We believe people deserve to know exactly how AI is being used in their news experience. This page discloses everything.

What AI Does on NewsIQ

What AI Does NOT Do on NewsIQ

✗Write or fabricate original news articles

✗Speculate about events beyond what sources report
✗Make editorial judgements about political positions
✗Recommend specific news sources as more credible than others
✗Personalize stories in ways that create filter bubbles

Known Limitations

Hallucination risk: Large language models can occasionally produce summaries that misrepresent source content. We ground all outputs in retrieved article text, but this risk is non-zero. Always verify critical information against source articles.

Clustering errors: Very similar stories (e.g., two different elections in the same week) can occasionally be merged incorrectly. We display source article links so you can check.

Context window limits: Very long-running stories may have summaries that omit older context as the cluster grows. Timelines help address this for developing events.

Language coverage: Currently, NewsIQ summarises content in English only. Non-English articles are indexed for clustering metadata but not summarised in other languages yet.

How to Report Errors

If you find an incorrect summary, stories grouped together that should not be, or a misleading headline, email hello.newsiq@gmail.com. We read every report and fix what we can.

Frequently Asked Questions

Does NewsIQ use AI to write news articles?

No. NewsIQ never generates original news content. Our AI summarises, clusters, and compares articles written by professional journalists. Every summary is grounded in retrieved source articles and publisher links are always visible.

Can NewsIQ AI make mistakes?

Yes. Like all AI systems, NewsIQ can produce incorrect summaries, miss context, or group unrelated stories together. Every story links to its primary sources so readers can check it. If you find an error, email hello.newsiq@gmail.com.

Does NewsIQ's AI have political bias?

We work to minimise political bias: our models are instructed to avoid partisan framing, and every story compares several outlets. Bias can still come from the models and from which sources cover a story. We publish our source list and editorial principles so readers can judge for themselves.

Does NewsIQ use AI-generated images?

No. All images displayed on NewsIQ are sourced directly from the publisher articles we index. We do not generate, edit, or alter images.
