Editorial Standards
How AI Regulation News is sourced, reviewed, corrected, and kept independent. Read this before you cite us.
The promise
The Leveraged Years AI Regulation News is a practical, source backed tracker of AI laws, court rules, agency guidance, and enforcement actions that change how professionals use AI at work. We read each development through the desk of the professional who has to use AI on Monday: attorneys, CPAs and finance leaders, physicians, financial advisors, HR teams, real estate professionals, and executives.
Our wedge is interpretation, not volume. We do not try to be a comprehensive legal database. We take a discrete development and answer three questions a working professional actually has: what changed, who it affects, and what to do differently. The output is workflow interpretation, never legal advice.
Primary source first
Every regulatory claim is anchored to the most authoritative source available, in this order:
- Primary sources first. Statutes and bill text, court opinions and standing orders, agency releases and official rules, and professional board guidance. These are the record. We read them directly.
- Official explainers next. Agency FAQs, court notices, and regulator bulletins, used to clarify a primary source, never to replace it.
- Specialist analysis sparingly. Law firm alerts, bar association notes, and professional association guidance, cited only to add context once the primary facts are established.
- Major news for confirmation. Established outlets such as Reuters, Bloomberg Law, Law360, and the Associated Press, used to confirm timing or detail.
We do not rely on unattributed AI generated blogs or aggregators for legal facts. Each piece carries dated, named, inline citations in the copy and a Source File box that lists the primary source, the secondary source, the date last checked, and the current status of the development.
Review before publish
Nothing publishes from a single pass. Before a piece goes live, the editor builds a one claim, one source fact table that pairs every factual assertion with its primary citation and a status label, then verifies each citation against the original document. The piece is reviewed by The Leveraged Years Editorial Desk for accuracy, sourcing, and tone, and every published piece carries a visible byline and first published and last updated dates.
Corrections Policy
Regulation moves. Rules get proposed, withdrawn, superseded, delayed, enjoined, or amended. When a development we have reported changes, or when we get something wrong, we update the piece and note the change with a date so the record stays honest. We do not quietly edit away an error. The update history is visible: substantive changes are timestamped, the prior status is acknowledged, and the Source File box reflects the new status, whether that is in force, proposed, withdrawn, an effective future date, or litigation pending. To report an error or a change in status, email anthony@theleveragedyears.com.
Ethics Policy
We hold this tracker to plain editorial ethics:
- Accuracy over speed. We would rather publish a day later with the primary source in hand than fast with a guess.
- No fake urgency. We do not manufacture alarm to drive attention. The status label on every claim is deliberately sober.
- Attribution. Sources are named and dated in the copy. We do not present another outlet's reporting as our own.
- Conflicts disclosed. The Leveraged Years sells AI courses and a membership. That commercial interest is disclosed and kept structurally separate from the reporting.
- Corrections honored. We update and date changes rather than hide them, as described in our corrections policy above.
Independence and disclosure
The reporting and interpretation on AI Regulation News are editorially independent of what The Leveraged Years sells. No advertiser, partner, or commercial relationship determines whether or how we cover a development. Course and membership links are clearly labeled, kept out of the body of news pieces, and consolidated into a separate, clearly marked resources section. The analysis would read the same whether or not you ever buy anything from us.
The Leveraged Years is an education company that sells AI training: online courses and a professional membership. Those products fund this work. We disclose that openly and maintain a visible separation between the news and the commerce.
No legal advice
The Leveraged Years is not a law firm, an accounting firm, a medical practice, or a compliance agency. Nothing on AI Regulation News is legal, tax, medical, or professional advice. We interpret regulatory developments as workflow consequences so you know what to raise with your own counsel, compliance team, or board. For decisions that carry legal or professional risk, consult a licensed advisor in your jurisdiction.
How we use AI
We use AI tools, and we are direct about how. AI assists with research and first draft drafting. It does not have the final word. Every piece is reviewed by a human editor and verified against primary sources before publication, and the one claim, one source fact table is checked by a person, not a model. We label content that is AI generated. AI helps us read faster, it does not replace the editorial judgment, sourcing discipline, or accountability that a named editor provides.
