Neutrality

Part of the AI Wiki policies

AI is an industry full of superlatives, rivalries, and open disputes. An encyclopedia is useful precisely because it does not take a side in them.

Describe, do not advocate

  • Articles state what a system is, what it does, what is documented about it, and what credible parties say about it. They do not recommend products, rank vendors by editorial taste, or borrow marketing language ("revolutionary", "best-in-class") as description.
  • Comparative claims ("outperforms", "largest", "first") appear only with a citation and their scope: which benchmark, which date, whose measurement.
  • Contested topics (safety debates, lawsuits, layoffs, geopolitics) are written with attributed positions: who claims what, on what evidence. Allegations are labeled allegations until adjudicated.

Independence

  • No one can pay for an article, for placement in one, or for the removal of accurate, sourced information. There are no affiliate links in article text.
  • AI Wiki may show clearly labeled promotions for companion sites owned and operated by the same team. They are included only when they provide a relevant utility for readers, and shared ownership does not influence AI Wiki's coverage or conclusions.
  • An article about a specific XR device, such as a pair of smart glasses, may link once in its text to the matching article on VR & AR Wiki, a hardware reference wiki owned and operated by the same team. These cross-references carry no label; this page and the companion projects page are their disclosure. They are not citations, and shared ownership does not influence coverage.
  • An article about AI in biology or medicine, neurotechnology, or the long-term human future may link once in its text to the matching article on Future Human Wiki, an encyclopedia of longevity, gene editing and human enhancement owned and operated by the same team. These cross-references follow the same rules: no label, disclosed here and on the companion projects page, never a citation.
  • Where an article turns to spaceflight, it may link in its text to The Space Wiki, an encyclopedia of space exploration owned and operated by the same team: at the first mention of a rocket, spacecraft, mission, space agency or celestial body that AI Wiki does not cover itself, or once to the matching article on a shared subject such as Starmind or orbital data centers. These are plain links with no label, disclosed here and on the companion projects page, and never citations.
  • Subjects of articles are welcome to propose corrections through the same public channels as everyone else ("Report issue", the talk page, or an edit with a source), and those changes are weighed against sources like any other. Promotional edits are reverted.

Owned companion sites

Owned-site promotions are visually separated from article prose, carry an ownership disclosure beside the link, and are limited to one relevant promotion per article. The exceptions to that format are the in-text cross-references to VR & AR Wiki, Future Human Wiki and The Space Wiki described above. Neither kind is a citation, an affiliate link, or a paid third-party placement. The current companion-site registry contains:

Global footer exposure is separately reviewed and capped at three direct companion links. See the public companion projects directory for the current list and linking rules.

Weight

Neutrality does not mean false balance. When the evidence on a question is lopsided, the article says so; when a minority position is notable, it is covered as a minority position with its critics cited. The goal is that a well-informed skeptic on either side of a dispute could read the article and call it fair, per the verifiability policy.
