1. Independence and the editorial firewall

No carrier, regulator, vendor, law firm, consultancy or other third party pays for placement, ranking, framing, prominence or inclusion in any content on this site. That holds for articles, briefings, comparison tables, trackers, tools and every other form of publication.

Editorial decisions are made by the editors. Commercial relationships, such as sponsorships, research commissions or partner listings, are handled separately and have no say over what is covered, how it is framed, or whether a party is included. The two run on separate budgets and separate decision chains. A commercial relationship with an entity does not guarantee it coverage, and the absence of one does not exclude it.

Future Proof Intelligence publishes this site. It also publishes its own AI agent certification methodology, at agentcertified.eu/methodology. Coverage of that methodology here is held to the same evidentiary and citation standards as any other, and the publisher's commercial interest in it earns no preferential treatment on any site in the network.

2. How we choose what to cover

We cover matters of real regulatory, market or operational significance for organisations deploying autonomous AI agents. The primary criteria are:

  • A statute, regulation or supervisory guidance has entered, or is about to enter, the legal record and creates obligations for operators or providers of AI systems.
  • A court decision, enforcement action or supervisory opinion sets or clarifies a principle that affects the allocation of liability for AI agent conduct.
  • A carrier, syndicate or insurance programme announces a named product that directly addresses AI agent liability, with capacity and geographic scope we can verify.
  • An industry body, standards organisation or government authority publishes a framework relevant to compliance, certification or underwriting for AI agents.
  • A significant market development, such as a merger, acquisition, withdrawal or reinsurance arrangement, materially affects the availability or pricing of AI liability cover.

We do not cover press releases, promotional announcements or vendor claims that have not been checked against primary sources, or content whose main purpose is to send traffic to a product rather than to inform a reader about a substantive development.

3. How we cite

We cite primary sources wherever they exist, to these standards.

EU legislation. By official designation and article number, for example Regulation (EU) 2024/1689 of the European Parliament and of the Council (the AI Act), Article 26(1). Recitals by number. We do not paraphrase regulatory text without also giving the exact text or a direct link to the Official Journal.

National legislation. By the official short title used in the enacting jurisdiction, with section or article number. For legislation in another language, we give the official title in the original and the basis for any translation.

Court decisions. By full case name, court and date of decision, with the case number or ECLI identifier where available. Quotations from judgments are given in full, with paragraph or page reference.

Supervisory guidance and opinions. By issuing authority, official title and publication date, with the authority's reference number where it gives one.

Standards. By official designation, for example ISO/IEC 42001:2023, and the clause relevant to the claim.

Trade publications and research reports. By publication or organisation, title and date. A trade publication's claim is not treated as verified fact. Where it reports a primary source, we find and cite that source directly.

Carrier products. By the official product name in the carrier's own announcement or product documentation, with its date. We do not describe coverage terms beyond what the carrier has published in material we can verify.

4. How we handle errors

We correct errors, and we distinguish material from non material ones.

A material error is one that, left in place, would lead a reader to a false belief about a fact of regulatory, legal or market significance: an incorrect article number, a wrong date of legal effect, a misattributed statement, an incorrect description of a carrier's terms. It is corrected with a dated note on the affected page stating what was published and what is correct.

A non material error does not affect substantive accuracy: a typing or grammatical error, a formatting inconsistency. It is corrected in place.

Every material correction is logged on the corrections page. If you believe you have found an error, write to the editors.

5. Conflicts of interest

Future Proof Intelligence publishes this site and its sister sites: agentliability.co, agentcertified.eu, agentinsured.eu, insureyouragent.com and certified.futureproofintelligence.com. It has a commercial interest in the development of the AI agent insurance and certification market, since it expects to offer certification services and, in time, to earn revenue from the partner tier described on the partners page.

Those interests are disclosed here and on that page. They do not change the independence commitments in section 1. Content about the publisher's own methodology is held to the same evidentiary standard as any other, and where an article refers to that work, the connection is stated.

Anyone writing for the site must disclose a personal financial interest in an entity they cover. Such interests are reviewed before publication, and where a conflict cannot be managed, the piece is assigned to someone without it.

6. Right of reply

Any organisation or person named on this site has a right of reply. Send the request through the contact page with the subject "Right of reply" and a reference to the content concerned. We acknowledge receipt within five working days.

Replies that are factually substantive and relevant are added as updates to the page or as clearly labelled response notes. The form of inclusion is an editorial judgement. We do not publish replies that are defamatory, legally privileged, or aimed at suppressing accurate reporting rather than correcting an error of fact.

7. Commercial activity

This site runs on an editorial only basis. No paid placements, sponsored rankings or commercial partner listings appear on any page, and all inclusion is editorial and free of charge.

A Partners tier for verified institutional participants, among them carriers, brokers, consultancies and implementation partners that meet published criteria, may be introduced. Its criteria would be published before launch. It would not affect coverage decisions, carrier rankings or the framing of any analysis, and every paid placement would be labelled as commercial. The outline is on the partners page.

8. Versioning

These standards are version 1.0, dated 24 April 2026, and are reviewed once a year. Proposed revisions are published for at least thirty days of public comment before adoption, and the revision history is kept on this page.

The same standards across the network

The same editorial standards apply on every site Future Proof Intelligence publishes in this field. Readers can check them against each other:
