What We Publish
We’re critically optimistic about AI and emerging technology — skeptical of hype, but excited about what these tools can actually do. We don’t publish press release rewrites, breathless AI doom takes, or engagement-bait contrarianism.
We publish writing that helps thoughtful readers understand what’s happening and why it matters. Clarity over cleverness. Evidence over assertion. Signal over noise.
What We’re Looking For
We welcome pitches across our core coverage beats:
AI Research & Papers
Accessible explainers and analysis of significant research — with proper context for what it actually means beyond the abstract.
Industry & Business
The companies, funding, and competitive dynamics shaping the AI landscape. Who’s building what, and whether the economics hold up.
Policy & Regulation
AI governance, legislation, and societal implications. What changed, what it means, and who it affects.
Security & Risk
Vulnerabilities, red-team findings, deployment failures, and the growing attack surface of AI systems in production.
Tools & Products
Honest, hands-on assessments of AI tools. What they do well, where they break, and whether they’re worth the time.
Opinion & Commentary
Well-argued original perspectives that bring something new. We don’t need hot takes — we need clear thinking.
How to Pitch
- Send a pitch, not a finished piece. Two to four sentences summarizing your angle and why it’s relevant now. We’ll work with you on structure and framing if there’s a fit.
- Original work only. AI-assisted research and drafting workflows are fine — we use them too. But all accepted work must reflect original judgment, accurate sourcing, and meaningful editorial value.
- Include prior work. Links to previous writing help us understand your voice and expertise. A short bio is helpful but not required at the pitch stage.
- Format and length are flexible. Pieces typically run 600–2,000 words depending on format. We’ll discuss structure once a pitch is accepted.
- We edit for clarity and house style. You’ll review all edits before publication. We don’t change your argument — we sharpen it.
What to Expect
We’re currently selective and project-based in how we work with contributors. If there’s a fit, we’ll discuss format, editorial process, and compensation or collaboration terms directly.
We read every submission and aim to respond within one week. If your pitch isn’t right for us, we’ll tell you — we don’t ghost. If it is, we’ll move fast.
