Editorial standards and responsibility

Our commitments to readers

KoishiAI makes five commitments: (1) always tell readers that AI drafts our articles; (2) cite sources in news articles, and give priority to primary sources when they exist; (3) correct clear errors within 48 hours of a report; (4) not publish harmful, illegal or defamatory content, and withdraw it if any gets through; (5) not accept money to publish, change or remove an article. Readers can check these and hold us to them.

What we publish

We publish AI news and analysis, such as model launches, research, and what technology companies are doing. We also publish tutorials, guides, price tables and tools.

We use AI systems to assist the editorial work. Our AI systems select stories, draft articles from cited sources, check facts against those sources, and translate between Thai and English. An editor reads every article for clarity.

The order of work is this: an article is published once it passes the automated checks. The editor then reads every article after it goes live and corrects it if needed.

Our news articles cite their sources and give priority to primary sources when they exist, such as a company's own announcement or the original research paper. A news draft that cites no source does not pass the automated checks. The exception is some articles already published, which have no source list.

What we refuse to publish

We do not publish: online gambling or casino content, pornographic content, investment scams and "get rich quick" schemes, advertising for drugs or controlled substances, hacking or account-theft services, false accusations against identifiable people, or medical, financial or legal misinformation that could harm readers.

Before the system saves an article, an automated filter scans its title, summary and body. If it finds sales wording typical of gambling, pornography, investment scams, drug sales or account-hacking services, the system does not save the article. The filter only catches the wording it has been given, so it does not cover every case. The editor reads every article after it goes live. If something breaks this policy, the editor corrects or retracts the article.

AI limitations and bias

Text drafted by AI can be wrong in its numbers, names, dates and interpretation, and it can carry bias from the data the models were trained on. Most of the news sources our system follows are English-language sources from outside Thailand, so our news reflects that view more than a Thai or Southeast Asian one.

What we do about it: (1) an automated system checks facts in the English draft of a news story against its sources, and a draft that fails the automated checks is not published automatically; (2) the editor reads every article after it goes live and corrects it if needed; (3) readers can report errors under our corrections policy, and when we find an error we correct it openly.

These checks reduce errors. They do not guarantee that every article is correct in every detail.

Independence and funding

KoishiAI is the editor's personal project, paid for by the editor. It has no sponsors and no corporate shareholders. We do not accept money to publish, change or remove an article. Articles contain no affiliate links, and the site carries no advertising from ad networks.

The editor runs a personal business that is separate from the news work: AI consulting and the sale of used computers. See the Services and Shop pages of this site. We do not publish articles on KoishiAI to promote clients. One thing readers should know: the articles titled "Case Study" in the Articles section are illustrative scenarios, written to explain the editor's services, and they link to the Services page.

If the way the site earns money changes, for example by taking sponsors or charging for membership, we will announce it 30 days in advance and update this page.

Not financial, medical, or legal advice

Our articles are general educational material, not advice for your specific case. For decisions about money (such as buying or selling crypto, or investing in AI startups), health (such as AI-assisted diagnosis) or law (such as patents and AI regulation), consult a licensed professional. Our articles can be a starting point for learning. They do not replace professional advice.

Accessibility

We aim to meet WCAG 2.1 Level AA. What is in place today: (1) a "Skip to content" link at the top of the page; (2) a visible focus outline for keyboard users; (3) alt text on article hero images; (4) animations switched off when your device asks for reduced motion; (5) layouts that adapt to the screen size. This is a target, not a certified result. If you hit an accessibility barrier, email kiatdamrong@gmail.com and we will fix it promptly.

Reuse license

Articles in the "Articles" section are released under Creative Commons BY 4.0 (CC-BY-4.0). You may reuse, translate, adapt or incorporate them, including commercially, with one requirement: credit "Source: KoishiAI, koishiai.com". This licence does not cover the images. Most hero images come from stock-photo libraries and are used under the terms of the library they came from, with the image owner credited under the image. When no suitable photo is found, the article carries a placeholder image with no credit.

Exception: the Claude Code Guide and the tutorial series are All Rights Reserved. Anyone may read them, but copying, downloading or republishing requires written permission. Other content on the site, such as the price tables and tools, is also All Rights Reserved.

Commitment to Thai society

KoishiAI is made for readers in Thailand. We commit to: (1) explaining AI in plain, readable Thai; (2) respecting Thai law, including the Personal Data Protection Act (PDPA); (3) not publishing divisive or hateful content, and not attacking groups of people for their race, religion, gender or political views.

Editorial accountability

เกียรติดำรง ตรีครุธพันธ์ (Kiatdamrong Treekutpan, Editor-in-chief and founder) takes personal responsibility for every published article, and for corrections and retractions. Publication itself is automatic: an article goes live once it passes the automated checks. The editor reads it after it goes live and decides whether it needs to be corrected or retracted. For questions about ethics or practice, email kiatdamrong@gmail.com.
