About AI & GPP

Independent reporting and analysis on how artificial intelligence and automation are changing the way governments decide, regulate and campaign.

AI & GPP covers the place where artificial intelligence meets the state: how governments use algorithms to deliver services and allocate resources, how legislators and regulators are writing the rules, how campaigns and their opponents use machine-made content, and how security services and diplomats are adapting to a technology that does not respect borders.

We write for the people who have to make those decisions — ministers and their advisers, senior officials, parliamentarians, regulators, diplomats, campaign strategists and the analysts who brief them — and for everyone who wants to understand the decisions being made in their name.

What we publish

  • The Briefing — the developments that matter, numbered, each with a clear line on why it matters.
  • Analysis — what a development means, who it affects and what to watch next.
  • Long Reads — essays on how governments notice, weigh and act on what is happening around them, beginning with The Decision Series.
  • Opinion — arguments from the editors, clearly labelled as such.

Our desks follow five beats: Policy & Regulation, The Machine State (AI inside government), Elections & Democracy, Security & Geopolitics and The Evidence — where we test claims about what AI and data actually do for public decisions.

Our standards

Sources first. Every factual claim is sourced, and the sources are listed at the end of each piece. We prefer primary documents — legislation, court rulings, official statements, published research — and say so when a detail rests on secondary reporting.

Claims are not evidence. We separate what a government, company or campaign says from what can be shown. Where evidence is thin, we say that too.

No invented voices. We do not publish fabricated quotes, composite characters or anonymous assertions dressed up as fact.

Corrections. When we get something wrong, we correct it promptly and note the correction on the article. Send corrections through our contact page.

Independence. Our editorial judgements are our own. Opinion is labelled as opinion.
