thenewsis provides analysis of European policy and regulatory developments for general information purposes. It is not legal advice, regulatory advice, compliance advice, or investment advice, and it is not a substitute for professional advice tailored to your situation.
Gathering, source validation, and the first draft of most of the analysis in a brief are done by AI systems, not a person, as part of a documented method (see How we build every brief). AI systems can misread a source, attribute a claim to the wrong actor, or generate a plausible-sounding statement that the record doesn’t actually support, a known failure mode usually called hallucination. Every brief is reviewed by a person before publication specifically to catch this. That review substantially reduces the risk. It does not eliminate it.
We work to a documented method: claims are validated against their sources and labelled with their evidentiary status, and connections between developments are presented as hypotheses with their confidence stated. Even so, developments move, sources conflict, and assessments can change as new information arrives. We do not warrant that any brief is complete or that it remains current after publication.
If a brief contains an error, we correct it openly. See our Corrections note below.
When we get something wrong, we say so, whether the error came from a source, an editorial judgement, or an AI-drafting step. Material errors are corrected in the next brief and noted on the affected brief itself. We do not silently edit the record. If you believe a brief contains an error, tell us and we will check it against the sources.
