Editorial Policy

Editorial Policy

At AIGirlfriends.ai, we are committed to producing trustworthy, fact-checked, and ethically responsible content about AI relationships, synthetic companionship, and emotional technology. This editorial policy outlines our content creation standards, sourcing approach, fact-checking process, and how we maintain independence from the services we provide.


🎯 Our Editorial Mission

Our goal is to explore the intersection of AI and human emotion through research-driven journalism and expert-led commentary. We aim to provide readers with:

  • Accurate, evidence-based information
  • Ethical insight into emerging AI technologies
  • Psychological and social context behind digital companionship
  • Honest pros and cons without hype or exploitation

We believe emotional AI is a socially significant innovation that deserves critical, compassionate coverage—not just sensationalism.


👥 Who Writes for Us

Our editorial content is led by Jack Taylor, Senior Editor & Research Analyst, alongside contributors with backgrounds in:

  • Artificial Intelligence and NLP
  • Digital sociology and psychology
  • Ethics in technology
  • UX and behavioral data analysis

All authors must disclose conflicts of interest, and their bios are listed on our Author Page.


📌 Content Types We Publish

We produce content across multiple formats:

  • Research Reports (original data studies and user surveys)
  • Trend Analyses (emerging technologies, market size, user behaviors)
  • Editorial Guides (definitions, walkthroughs, user FAQs)
  • Opinion & Ethics Columns (pros, risks, social effects)
  • News Briefs (industry updates and platform changes)

Our content is intended for:

  • Journalists, researchers, and policymakers
  • Technologists building AI companion systems

🔍 Research & Sourcing

We prioritize primary research and original insights. Our data often comes from:

  • Anonymized internal user analytics
  • Proprietary surveys (2,000+ participants globally)
  • Publicly available academic papers, journals, and white papers
  • Authoritative sources like Pew Research, MIT Technology Review, Wired, etc.

Whenever external data is used, we:

  • Use anchor text citations that link directly to the source
  • Include publication names and publication dates when relevant
  • Update outdated references regularly (minimum twice yearly)

✅ Fact-Checking & Accuracy

Before publishing, every article goes through:

  • Topic expert review
  • Cross-verification of all factual claims
  • Citation checks and source traceability
  • Tool-based content originality and readability audits

Corrections or updates are timestamped at the top or bottom of the article. If you find an error, please contact us at [email protected].


⚖️ Editorial Independence

While AIGirlfriends.ai operates an AI companion platform, our editorial content is separate from our product marketing.

  • We do not promote specific third-party AI apps
  • No paid placements or affiliate links are used in editorial articles
  • All sponsored content (if ever accepted) will be clearly labeled
  • Research articles are developed independently, based on data, not brand partnerships

We disclose our service relationship at the top of articles where relevant.


🧠 Sensitive Topics & Ethics

We regularly write about:

  • Loneliness, mental health, and emotional dependency
  • Simulated intimacy and ethical gray areas of AI
  • Societal impact of emotional AI technologies

To protect our readers:

  • We do not provide medical or psychological advice
  • We link to helplines or mental health resources when appropriate
  • We avoid exploitative language or clickbait headlines
  • We anonymize all quotes, testimonials, and user stories unless permission is granted

🔁 Updates & Revisions

AI is evolving rapidly. We update our content as needed to reflect:

  • New user behavior trends
  • Regulatory changes
  • Academic research or expert commentary
  • Platform updates or ethical standards

Major updates are noted at the top of the page with a change log.
