Editorial policy
These editorial principles set out how marketupdate researches, rates, uses and labels artificial intelligence, corrects mistakes and separates editorial content from advertising. Responsible pursuant to § 18 Abs. 2 MStV: Alexander Weipprecht.
Editorial principles
We report independently, verifiably and source-based on the AI industry, AI tools and robotics. Claims are substantiated; primary sources are linked. Ratings follow editorial criteria only and are never given in exchange for payment.
Use and labelling of AI
marketupdate uses AI systems in a supporting role. Every article is labelled according to the following transparency logic (Art. 50 EU AI Act):
- W1 — AI-generated, editorially reviewed: an AI system generated the text and a responsible human reviewed and approved the article. Voluntary label ("AI-generated · editorially reviewed by {name}").
- W2 — AI-generated: predominantly machine-generated text without a full editorial review. Mandatory "AI-generated" label under Art. 50 (4) EU AI Act — cannot be switched off.
- W3 — fully human: written without material AI involvement; no AI label.
- W4 — AI-generated or edited media: images, graphics or audio involving AI are always disclosed as such — no exemption applies here.
Corrections policy
We correct material errors transparently and flag meaning-changing corrections. The date of the last update is visible on each article. Please send error reports to the contact address below.
Separation of editorial and advertising
Advertising and sponsored content is clearly labelled "Sponsored" and always kept separate from
editorial reporting. Affiliate links are disclosed and carry rel="sponsored nofollow";
compensation has no influence on verdicts, rankings or placement.
Rating and comparison methodology
Ratings and comparison rankings follow a transparent set of criteria applied consistently across articles (including feature scope, value for money, data protection/hosting region and reliability). The methodology used for a given comparison is disclosed on the respective article.
