These terms cover your use of theainewsfiles.com ("the site", "I", "me"), its emails, and the AI News Files accounts on other platforms. The site is run by J E Cowie, who is based in the United Kingdom. By using the site you agree to these terms. If you don't agree, please don't use it.

What the site is

AI News Files publishes news and short summaries about artificial intelligence. It is for general information only. Nothing on the site, in its emails or in its videos is legal, financial, investment or other professional advice. Please don't rely on it for decisions of that kind without checking with someone qualified.

Sources, opinion and accuracy

  • Sources. Articles list the sources they are based on, with links, so you can read them yourself.
  • Opinion. Where I give an opinion, it is marked as one, for example under "Our take". Opinion is the site's view, not the view of the sources it cites.
  • AI tools. Articles and the daily summaries are researched and drafted with the help of AI tools, working from the sources they cite.
  • Corrections. I work to get the facts right, but news changes and mistakes can happen. If you spot one, email me and I will look at it. When I find a mistake, I correct the article.

Membership and emails

Signing up is free. You sign up with your email address, and the daily email and any newsletters go to that address. You can unsubscribe at any time with the link in every email. I may change or stop the emails, membership or any part of the site at any time. How I handle your information is set out in the Privacy Policy.

Please only sign up with an email address that is yours, and don't try to break, overload or get around the site's security.

The daily video and other platforms

AI News Files also publishes on Instagram, Facebook, YouTube, TikTok and X. When you use those platforms, their own terms and privacy policies apply as well as these.

The site links to sources and other websites. I don't control them and I'm not responsible for what they contain or how they handle your data.

The writing, videos and design of AI News Files belong to J E Cowie unless stated otherwise. Pictures from other people are credited under each article, with their licence. Quotations belong to the people and publications they come from.

You're welcome to share links to the site and to quote short passages with credit and a link back. Please don't republish whole articles, emails or videos without asking first.

No guarantees

The site is provided "as is". I don't promise that it will always be available, free of errors or up to date. As far as the law allows, I'm not liable for any loss that comes from using the site or relying on what it says. Nothing in these terms limits any liability that can't be limited by law.

Changes to these terms

If I change these terms I will update the date at the top of this page. Using the site after a change means you accept the new terms.

The law that applies

These terms are governed by the law of England and Wales, and any dispute goes to its courts. If you live elsewhere in the UK or in the EU, you keep the protections your own country's law gives you.
