Our daily pipeline, source list, length standards, multilingual policy, and AI disclosure — fully transparent.
The AI industry produces hundreds of announcements, papers, and product launches every week. Most coverage optimizes for clicks, not clarity, and outlets with financial ties to AI companies have little incentive to separate genuine importance from commercial interest. AI Daily takes a different approach: read from a fixed list of vetted primary sources every morning, select 16 stories per day (8 news + 8 tech), draft each as a deep-research article (≥1,500 Chinese characters), and publish in 7 languages with full source attribution.
Approximately 90 sources are scanned every morning: 11 RSS feeds (OpenAI Blog, Hugging Face Blog, Simon Willison, Lilian Weng, Towards Data Science, MIT Tech Review, Dev.to AI, 少数派, 36kr, Zenn AI), 18 X/Twitter accounts on the watchlist, the arXiv API across cs.AI / cs.LG / cs.CL / cs.CV / cs.RO / stat.ML, GitHub trending searches across 6 AI/ML topic queries, and a small number of curated newsletter forwards (AI Digest 李自然, AI Brief).
Each candidate story is scored on novelty (genuinely new vs. re-reporting), source authority (primary vs. derivative), technical depth, and reader impact. A geographic relevance filter restricts coverage to the US, EU, China, Japan, and Korea. From the morning's 100+ candidates, we select 8 news stories and 8 tech entries. The tech tab is reserved for 4 GitHub AI tools and 4 arXiv AI papers; the GitHub list deduplicates against a 30-day rolling window so the same project isn't featured twice.
For each selected story, the pipeline drafts a Chinese deep-research article from the source material, then derives independent translations into English, Japanese, Korean, French, and German. We do not produce literal translations — each language version is drafted against the same source facts and then reviewed for idiomatic quality. Length floors are enforced (see below). Every article includes 3 FAQ Q&A pairs per language for AEO (AI Search Engine Optimization).
The editor reviews headline framing, the one-line "why this matters" pull-quote on each card, source citation accuracy, and any article whose subject is sensitive — security, policy, ethics, privacy, or breaking incidents. Articles that fail validation (length floor, language-script check, boilerplate detection, or missing sources) are rejected and re-drafted before the daily push.
At 09:00 JST we publish to sns.style with NewsArticle, BreadcrumbList, and FAQPage JSON-LD schemas, hreflang cross-language links, and RSS feeds. A 60-check SEO/AEO/GEO audit runs immediately after publish to verify every article in every language renders correctly. The full daily pipeline is open-source — see the scripts/ directory in our deployment.

Every published article must clear these floors before the daily push (enforced by an automated validator):
Articles use a 4-section structure: Background & Context → Deep Analysis → Industry Impact → Outlook. Each section has 2-4 substantive paragraphs. The validator additionally rejects content that contains template boilerplate phrases (a defense against accidentally regressing to AI-generated filler), and uses a stop-word density check on French and German to ensure those versions are real translations rather than English text with localized headings.
We translate every article into 7 languages (zh, zh-Hant, en, ja, fr, de, ko) so users navigating in any of these languages can read in their native script. However, only our three primary languages — Simplified Chinese, English, and Japanese — are configured as index,follow for search engines. The other four (Traditional Chinese, Korean, French, German) ship with <meta name="robots" content="noindex,follow"> so that they remain accessible to readers via the language switcher and are not duplicate-content competitors of the primary versions in Google's index. The sitemap mirrors this policy: only primary-language URLs appear in /sitemap.xml.
Articles on AI Daily are written with the assistance of large language models. We use this assistance for source aggregation, summarization, multilingual drafting, and structural review. Human editorial judgment governs source selection, headline framing, the daily editorial commentary, and any sensitive-topic article. Articles that the model produces but cannot ground in the cited sources are rejected and re-drafted. We do not republish AI-generated content from other sites.
Every article footer lists the source URLs the article was drafted from. If a claim cannot be traced back to a cited source, please email [email protected] — we treat unsourced claims as editorial bugs and aim to acknowledge corrections within 48 hours, updating the article with a correction note when the fix is applied.
Not a summary service. We don't rewrite press releases or compress other people's reporting. Every article is original analysis drafted from primary sources.
Not sponsored. No company pays for coverage. No stories are placed. Our scoring pipeline doesn't know who buys ads, and we don't accept advertising from companies whose products we cover.
Not opinion-driven. We present facts, context, and implications. Editorial commentary on the homepage is clearly labeled as such; article bodies stick to source-grounded analysis.
