01In brief

The short answer.

Artificial Intelligence and Autonomous Systems publications are the platform's reviewed, citable outputs, such as AI safety method library, sector use-case studies and evaluation protocols. Each carries its authors, date, method, evidence labels and editorial status, and a correction creates a new version with its history. Contributions to series such as Exponential Technology and Labs Evidence also appear in Nexus Reports.

Canvas · draft to published versionDesign, not a record
Research and publications: an edition from outline to correctionAn outline is agreed; chapters are drafted; every value is traced in the data check; peer reviewers with declared conflicts review; the editor decides; the edition is released with an identifier and corrected only by new versions. Design of the process, not a record of a run.

03Geography

Connected activity in East Asia.

For research and publications, in GCRI's spatial-intelligence reading, the map opens on true-colour imagery, night lights and land cover with true colour from NASA GIBS, framed on East Asia; 3 further NASA layers wait in the list.

The interactive map needs JavaScript; the layer list and sources are below.

04What is published

Every output shows its status.

  • Each publication carries its authors, date, method, evidence labels and editorial status.
  • Corrections create a new version with its history.
  • Series contributions also appear in Nexus Reports; see Publish in Nexus Reports.
05Output types

What AI publications look like.

AI publications are dated and versioned; a result describes a model version at a time, in a setup, and expires as models change.

  • Evaluation reports in Labs Evidence.
  • Technology assessments in Exponential Technology.
06Series

07Key terms

Terms used on this page.

Each term as this page uses it. Where a standard-setting body defines the term, the wording follows that body.

TermDefinition
Version of recordThe fixed version of a work that a publisher formally declares published; later changes appear as dated corrections or new versions, never as silent edits, in the sense NISO's journal article versions recommendation uses.
Peer reviewEvaluation of a work by independent experts in the field before publication.
CorrectionA published notice that amends an error in a work whose main findings stand.
Evidence labelA tag on an assertion naming the kind of evidence behind it, such as observed, officially reported or modelled.
08Sources
