Sources
Original reporting, useful experiments, and evidence worth reading.
We select for original work, clear authorship, useful evidence, and relevance to people using AI. Company announcements, independent reporting, research, and advocacy serve different purposes; each is labeled. Inclusion does not mean agreement.
Reporting
Reporting via Google News
Wire reporting on AI companies, government decisions, and international developments.
Discovery through Google News; publisher metadata is restricted to Reuters and AP, with an additional AI-topic filter. Open the original report before drawing conclusions.
Reporting & analysis
Context on AI research, industry incentives, and policy.
Some articles require a subscription. Feed items tagged sponsored are excluded.
Reporting & opinion
AI policy, social impact, and reporting beyond Silicon Valley.
Includes opinion and podcasts; assess the format of each item.
Reporting & analysis
Product coverage, accountability reporting, and industry interviews.
The full AI desk feed avoids missing consequential stories that omit OpenAI from the headline.
Industry reporting
AI product and startup reporting.
Funding announcements are not proof of customer value or profit.
Technical reporting
Technical AI reporting, security, and policy context.
Some coverage is subscriber-only; verify important claims against underlying sources.
Official
Company announcements
Original product announcements, research releases, and company policies.
Primary evidence of what OpenAI says; performance and safety claims need outside scrutiny.
Videos
Company videos · YouTube
Product demonstrations, launch presentations, and conversations from OpenAI’s official channel.
Produced by OpenAI. Videos open on YouTube; the feed contains recent uploads, not the full channel archive.
Practical AI
Practitioner analysis
Hands-on experiments, useful tools, implementation details, and prompt-injection analysis.
Personal analysis and selected links. Only posts tagged AI, LLMs, or generative AI enter this feed.
Research-informed commentary
Ethan Mollick on using AI in work and education.
A named author’s interpretation and experiments; recommendations can age as products change.
Safety & Society
Investigative reporting
Original reporting on AI abuse, privacy, labor, and the effects on people.
Some articles require registration or a paid subscription. Headlines may include allegations; read the underlying evidence.
Evaluation research
Empirical work on agent capabilities, safety evaluations, and developer productivity.
Research nonprofit with disclosed lab partnerships and model access. Evaluations measure specified settings, not universal safety.
Research & advocacy
Research and policy advocacy on concentrated power and accountability.
Includes advocacy, press appearances, and organizational updates; distinguish each from original research.
Research discussion
Technical alignment arguments and discussion from researchers.
Posts are not automatically peer-reviewed or representative of a scientific consensus.
Status
Service notices
Official incident history and service updates.
An incident headline may describe a resolved issue. Check the linked current status.
How we use them
The reader links to recent headlines. It filters out items tagged as sponsored, removes duplicate stories, and gives each source its own space so frequent publishers do not crowd out slower research. Some linked articles require a subscription.
The Daily Brief has a separate editorial process: read original sources, search beyond the feeds, and choose the lead by public impact. A headline or a company's claim is a starting point for research.
Useful sources without a suitable feed belong in our libraries. Explore courses and practical guides, safety research and policy, projects, and business evidence.
