Important information about our service, privacy practices, and limitations
Critical AI Disclaimer
⚠️ IMPORTANT: AI-Generated Content
ALL content on Warcast is generated by artificial intelligence algorithms WITHOUT human intervention, review, or pre-prompting. Our AI systems analyze news articles and generate threat assessments automatically. No human validates or edits these assessments before publication. The only human-in-the-middle can happen when adjusting wrong scores for the ML improvement pattern.
Understanding AI Limitations:
- • AI Makes Mistakes: AI systems can and will make incorrect assessments. Don't rely exclusively on it while taking important decissions.
- • No Human Oversight: Our threat levels, predictions, and analyses are generated entirely by AI without human review or correction.
- • Pattern Recognition Errors: AI may misinterpret events, conflate unrelated incidents, or miss critical context that a human analyst would understand.
- • Bias and Inaccuracy: AI models can perpetuate biases present in training data and news sources, leading to skewed assessments.
Political Neutrality Statement
Warcast is completely apolitical and maintains strict neutrality.
- • We do not favor any nation, government, political party, or ideology
- • Our AI analyzes events based solely on potential conflict escalation patterns
- • We aggregate news from diverse sources including state media from various countries
- • Threat assessments are based on military/conflict keywords, not political positions
- • We report on all conflicts equally, regardless of the parties involved
The inclusion of news from any source does not imply endorsement of that source's political views or accuracy.
Open Code Transparency
Our code is not entirely open source, but can be available for inspection by any interested party.
- • Full code available on GitHub
- • All AI prompts and algorithms are visible
- • Database schema and data processing logic is transparent
- • No hidden algorithms or secret sauce - everything is public
