AI Tech Spectrum is run by a lean editorial team. We use AI tools to assist with research and drafting, but every piece is reviewed by one of the editors listed below before publication — and that editor is accountable for accuracy, voice, and any independent analysis.
This page exists to be transparent about who's behind every byline you'll see on the site. Below: how the team is structured, what each editor is responsible for, what we expect of ourselves, and how to reach the right person if you spot a mistake or have a question about coverage.
About the bylines
You'll see two kinds of bylines on the site:
- Personal bylines — attributed to a specific named editor who wrote and is accountable for the piece.
- Desk bylines — attributed to "AITS News Desk," "AITS Reviews Desk," or "AITS Playbooks Desk." These are pieces produced with AI assistance and edited by a member of that desk. Desk bylines indicate AI-assisted, human-edited content with a human editor accountable for publication.
Regardless of byline, the same editorial standards apply — see our Editorial Standards for details on sourcing, testing, and corrections.
Why we organize the team this way
We deliberately separate the news, reviews, and playbooks desks because each requires a different reporting cadence and editorial discipline. The news desk works on a daily 24-hour cycle, prioritizing freshness and accuracy against primary sources. The reviews desk works on quarterly re-test cycles, prioritizing depth and reproducibility. The playbooks desk works on whatever cycle a topic actually warrants, prioritizing usefulness over publishing cadence. Mixing these workflows in one team produces worse work in all three categories — separating them keeps each desk focused on what makes its work valuable.
Every desk reports into the editor in chief, who sets the bar for what's good enough to publish under each byline. That single point of editorial accountability is intentional: when you read something on this site, there is exactly one person who can be reached if it's wrong.
Our editorial process
Every piece on AI Tech Spectrum goes through a four-step process before it ships:
- Research and outline. The assigned desk gathers primary sources, runs any required testing, and writes an outline. AI tools may be used at this stage to summarize sources and suggest structure — never to fabricate facts or quotes.
- Draft. The desk produces a first draft, with all factual claims tagged to a specific source. AI tools may assist with drafting; the desk editor is responsible for the final voice, accuracy, and any independent analysis added beyond the underlying sources.
- Review. The editor in chief or a senior desk editor reads every draft before publication. Reviews check for: source accuracy (every cited number traces to its primary source), voice consistency, missing caveats or counter-arguments, undisclosed conflicts of interest, and any commercial-intent overreach (e.g., affiliate language that doesn't reflect the actual review).
- Publish and monitor. Published pieces are monitored for reader corrections via the corrections@aitechspectrum.com address. Substantive corrections are appended to the article with a "Corrected: [date] — [what changed]" note; minor copy fixes are made silently.
Conflicts of interest
Members of the editorial team are required to disclose any equity holdings, paid advisory relationships, or active employment with a vendor we cover. If a covered company is also an affiliate partner, that relationship is disclosed at the top of the article. Where an editor has a material conflict on a specific piece, the assignment is reassigned to another editor — we do not publish "with disclosure" workarounds for material conflicts.
