Editorial policy

The rules every article follows: what counts as a source, how gaps are shown, and how often pages are checked.

What the articles are

AI for Social Good publishes explainers and evidence reviews about artificial intelligence for readers in Canada and the United States. The aim is to describe what is documented: what a technology does, who builds it, which rules apply, and who is affected.

Sources

Facts come from primary sources: statutes, regulator notices, official statistics, company filings, court records, and peer-reviewed papers. Company announcements are treated as statements by the company, not as independent confirmation. Every article ends with a list of the sources it uses.

Gaps and uncertainty

When a figure, page, or claim could not be opened or confirmed, the article says so. Estimates and forecasts are labeled as such. Examples that are made up for illustration are marked as illustrative.

Health, money, and law

Pages on these subjects report what regulators, statutes, and studies state. They do not give medical, legal, tax, or investment advice, do not predict prices, and do not recommend products, tokens, exchanges, or providers. Personal decisions belong with a licensed professional.

Dates and updates

Prices, rules, and figures change, so each page shows the month it was last verified. When a source changes or a rule is replaced, the article is updated and the date moves with it. The whole site was reviewed in October 2026.

Links

Outside links are kept to highly authoritative sources such as governments, regulators, and standards bodies. Other sources are named in plain text.

Corrections

Errors can be reported through the contact page. Confirmed errors are corrected on the page.
