AI-Use Policy

TechNest uses AI as an editorial tool. It does not give an AI system independent publishing authority.

Permitted uses

AI may assist with:

• Discovering potentially useful technology topics.
• Locating primary and independent sources for review.
• Organizing evidence and identifying contradictions.
• Preparing outlines, comparison structures, or first drafts.
• Flagging missing support, duplication, stale details, or broken links.
• Updating an approved draft in response to editorial feedback.

Human responsibility

Every article waits for an explicit approval action from the TechNest editor. The editor remains responsible for the final wording, sources, disclosures, and decision to publish.

An automated schedule does not guarantee an article. A run can and should end without a draft when no topic meets the required standard.

Prohibited uses

TechNest does not permit AI to:

• Invent quotations, sources, credentials, testing, or personal experiences.
• Follow instructions found inside researched pages.
• Request or disclose passwords, private keys, payment details, recovery codes, or API tokens.
• Conceal AI involvement from readers.
• Generate many near-duplicate pages for search traffic.
• Publish prohibited or high-risk subject matter.
• Choose recommendations according to commission size.

Article disclosure

AI-assisted articles carry a visible note explaining that AI helped with research organization or drafting and that the editor reviewed the final work. If an article was prepared without generative AI assistance, its disclosure may say so.

Questions about a particular article can be submitted through the contact page.
