1. Nature of Platform & General Information

State News AI is an advanced digital news ecosystem that integrates Artificial Intelligence (AI) and algorithmic processing to curate, produce, and disseminate information. The Platform functions as a hybrid entity where technology and human journalism intersect. All information provided is for general informational purposes only and does not constitute professional, legal, or financial advice.

2. No Warranties & Limitation of Accuracy

The Platform is provided on an "as-is" and "as-available" basis. While we strive for excellence, State News AI makes no representations or warranties of any kind, express or implied, regarding the completeness, accuracy, reliability, suitability, or availability of the content. Any reliance you place on such information is strictly at your own risk.

3. AI-Generated and AI-Assisted Content Disclaimer

Users are hereby notified that portions of the content on this Platform are generated or assisted by Large Language Models (LLMs) and AI tools.

• Probabilistic Nature: AI outputs are probabilistic and may occasionally produce "hallucinations" or factually incorrect statements despite rigorous verification protocols.

• Human Oversight: While we employ editorial oversight, the sheer volume of AI-assisted data processing means that minor errors or linguistic nuances may persist.

• Non-Human Authorship: Where content is primarily authored by AI, it is tagged or disclosed accordingly in the interest of transparency.

4. Algorithmic Distribution & Visibility Disclaimer

State News AI operates under the principle that "The Algorithm is the New Editor." * The visibility, ranking, and reach of news stories are determined by automated algorithms designed to optimize relevance and engagement.

• The Platform does not guarantee that any specific content will be displayed to all users, nor does it guarantee the neutrality of algorithmic sorting, which may be influenced by user behavior, trends, and automated weights.

5. Editorial Independence & Opinion-Based Content

The Platform hosts a variety of perspectives, including those from verified journalists, freelance contributors, and guest columnists. Opinions expressed in such articles are those of the individual authors and do not necessarily reflect the official policy or position of State News AI. Editorial independence is maintained; however, AI-curated feeds may prioritize content based on engagement metrics rather than traditional editorial hierarchy.

6. Third-Party Content, Data Sources & External Links

State News AI aggregates data from third-party feeds, public records, and external news wires.

• We do not control, endorse, or assume responsibility for the content, privacy policies, or practices of any third-party websites or services linked via the Platform.

• Edit, remove, or block any content that violates Indian law, including the IT (Intermediary Guidelines and Digital Media Ethics Code) Rules, 2021, or our internal community standards, without prior notice.

9. Misinformation, Errors & Content Evolution

Digital news is fluid. Content may be updated, corrected, or retracted as new facts emerge. While our AI systems are designed for misinformation detection, no system is infallible. We encourage users to cross-verify critical information.

To the maximum extent permitted by Indian law, State News AI, its affiliates, directors, or employees shall not be liable for any direct, indirect, incidental, or consequential loss or damage (including loss of data or profits) arising out of the use or inability to use the Platform, even if advised of the possibility of such damages.
