Editorial Policy
Last updated: August 7, 2026
Dictiva writes about AI agent governance, so the way we produce our own content should hold up to the same scrutiny we ask of others. This page explains how articles on the Dictiva blog are made: where AI assists, where humans decide, and who is accountable for what we publish.
1. Human Authorship & Accountability
Every article on this blog is published under the byline of its human author. That byline means what it says: the ideas, the positions taken, and the editorial judgment are the author's own, and the writing voice is grounded in the author's own notes and prior writing. Carlos Alvidrez holds editorial responsibility for everything published here.
2. Where AI Assists: Research
We use AI tools to assist with research. This is most visible in our weekly news coverage, where AI helps gather candidate stories from a curated set of industry sources, then scores and weights them for relevance. AI assistance lets us cover more ground than any single reader could, but deciding what matters, and what it means, remains a human call.
3. Writing & Editing
Articles begin as the author's own notes, ideas, and positions. AI tools help organize research material into working notes in the author's established voice. The author then shapes, edits, and rewrites every piece. Nothing is published the way it came out of a tool.
4. Human Review & Final Approval
Nothing on this blog is published automatically. Every article is read, edited, and explicitly approved by its author before it goes live, and factual claims are checked against their underlying sources during that review.
5. What AI Never Does
AI does not decide what we publish, and it cannot publish anything on its own. It does not fabricate quotes, sources, or data. And it does not hold our opinions: the positions taken on this blog are the author's.
6. Governed Like an Agent Should Be
We build software for governing AI agents, so we hold our own tooling to the same standard. The AI assistance behind this blog operates under a published agent charter with explicit boundaries, including a standing rule that nothing reaches production without human approval. It is the same discipline Dictiva helps other teams put in place.
7. The Note on Every Article
Each article carries a short disclosure near the byline, "Written by Carlos Alvidrez, with AI assistance in research," linking back to this page, so you never have to wonder how our content is made.
8. Corrections
If we get something wrong, we want to know. Email hello@dictiva.com and we will review promptly; material corrections are noted on the article itself.
