News Archive

(a subtopic of AI in the news)

HOW IT WORKS:
Articles are archived by article date, not posting date.
Example: a June 3rd article that was posted during the week of May26th, is archived on the June page.

Because you will undoubtedly encounter lots of broken links, we ask that you please read our News FAQ (from the Springboard page):

6a) Why do I encounter so many dead links when I try to access articles from AI in the news and the News Archive?
Morphing links and disappearing articles are to be expected. Articles are often rotated from the provider's current collection to their archive which results in a new URL being assigned. Also, the realities of the marketplace are such that articles that were initially free may become subject to a retrieval fee after a period of time. (For more about charges, see 6b.) We keep the article excerpt and its citation on our site because it is still informative in and of itself, and it lets you know where you may be able to find the article either in print, in a database you (or your school, institution, company, etc.) subscribe to, or possibly online and for free, but from a different provider and maybe under a different headline.
As for dead links on other pages in AI Topics, please know that we try our best to revive them once they are discovered. However, a link's life force is beyond our control and sometimes we must pronounce a link "dead" and move it to our page of Dead Links.

6b) Why is there a fee to get a news article? I thought that you only referenced articles that could be accessed for free.
The articles are available for free when we post them, though some sites do require that you complete a no-fee registration. Even so, many of these articles are offered without charge only for a limited period and then a fee is imposed once they are archived.

• See generally: Extra! Extra! Read All About You. By Joanna Glasner. Wired News (March 1, 2004). "To get access to articles, readers are increasingly required to provide such data as age, ZIP code, gender and, in many cases, information about income and personal interests."

PLEASE NOTE: 1) because an excerpt may not reflect the overall tenor of the article from which it was harvested, nor contain all of the relevant information, you are strongly encouraged to read the entire article; 2) please remember that the news is offered "as is" and the fact that an article has been selected does not imply any endorsement whatsoever; 3) Please be aware that the content of an external third party site may have changed since we established our link to it. If you decide to access these Websites, you do so at your own risk; 4) please respect the rights of the copyright holders; and as explained in detail in our Notices & Disclaimers, just because we mention something on this page, you should not infer that...
