Jumpseat Aerospace News, a division of AeroVenture, LLC Effective Date: March 20, 2026

The Short Version: Every article on this site is sourced from real aerospace journalism and processed through AI systems that score, filter, and summarize the content. We are fully transparent about what AI does, what humans do, and where the boundaries are.

Our Commitment to Transparency

We believe you have the right to know when and how artificial intelligence is involved in the content you read. We do not disguise AI-generated summaries as human-written journalism, and we clearly attribute all content to its original source. This page explains our process in full.

1. How We Use AI

1.1 Article Discovery and Collection

We monitor publicly available aerospace news sources including press releases, company announcements, trade publications, government agencies, and industry wire services. Our automated systems collect articles from these sources for processing. No AI judgment is applied at this stage; collection is based on source feeds and keyword relevance.

1.2 Article Scoring

Every collected article is evaluated by an AI model to determine its relevance and significance to the aerospace industry. This scoring process considers factors such as the article’s subject matter and category, its timeliness and news value, its relevance to our coverage areas (commercial aviation, defense and security, space and satellites, policy and markets, technology and systems, supply chain and manufacturing, and private aviation), and the quality and reliability of the source.

Articles that do not meet our relevance threshold are filtered out. This scoring step uses the Anthropic API (Claude) and runs asynchronously in batches.

1.3 Article Summarization

Articles that pass the scoring threshold are summarized by AI. The summarization process extracts the key facts and developments from the original article, produces a concise summary written in a neutral, factual tone, identifies companies, organizations, and people mentioned, categorizes the article by topic and coverage area, and preserves attribution to the original source and author.

Summarization also uses the Anthropic API and runs in a separate batch after scoring is complete.

1.4 Publication

Summaries are formatted as structured content and published to our website through an automated pipeline. Each published article includes a link to the original source, attribution to the original publisher and author, the date of the original publication, and the category and company tags assigned during processing.

2. What AI Does Not Do

To be equally clear about the boundaries:

• AI does not write original reporting. Every article on this site originates from a human journalist or press office at another publication or organization. We summarize; we do not report.
• AI does not add opinion or analysis. Summaries are factual restatements. If an opinion appears, it is attributed to the original source.
• AI does not select which articles to promote based on engagement or clickbait potential. Scoring is based on aerospace industry relevance, not virality.
• AI does not personalize content to manipulate your reading behavior. All readers see the same content.
• AI does not have access to your personal data. Article text is processed for summarization only. No reader information is sent to AI models.

3. Our AI Technology Stack

In the interest of full transparency, here are the specific technologies we use:

We chose to self-host the majority of our infrastructure rather than rely on third-party SaaS platforms. This gives us full control over our data, our processing pipeline, and our editorial output.

4. Accuracy and Limitations

AI systems can and do make errors. We want to be honest about that.

Known limitations of AI summarization include:

• Occasional factual errors when compressing complex information.
• Misattribution of quotes or statements in multi-source articles.
• Difficulty distinguishing between confirmed facts and speculation in source material.
• Potential for outdated information if a source article is later corrected.

What we do to mitigate these risks:

• We use high-quality AI models specifically selected for factual summarization tasks.
• We continuously evaluate and refine our prompts and scoring criteria.
• We link to original sources on every article so you can verify information.
• We maintain a corrections process for errors that are identified. If you spot an error, contact us at [email protected].

For critical decisions: If you are making business, investment, safety, or regulatory decisions, always consult the original source material. Our summaries are a starting point, not a substitute for primary sources.

5. Editorial Independence

Our AI systems operate independently of commercial interests:

• Advertisers have no influence over which articles are scored, summarized, or published.
• Scoring criteria are based on industry relevance, not on relationships with companies mentioned in coverage.
• We do not accept payment to cover or suppress any story.
• Our automated pipeline treats all qualifying sources equally.

6. Data and Privacy in AI Processing

When we process articles through AI:

• Only the article text and metadata are sent to the AI model. No reader data is included.
• We use the Anthropic Message Batches API, which processes content asynchronously and does not use submitted data for model training.
• Processed content is stored on our own self-hosted infrastructure.
• We do not share article data with any party other than Anthropic for the purpose of summarization.

For complete details on how we handle your personal information, see our Privacy Policy.

7. California Transparency Disclosures

Pursuant to emerging AI transparency requirements, we disclose the following:

• This website publishes AI-generated summaries of news articles.
• No content on this site is represented as original human journalism.
• AI-generated content is derived entirely from publicly available source material.

8. Changes to Our AI Practices

As our technology evolves, so will this page. When we make significant changes to how we use AI, we will update this disclosure, note the change and date in the changelog below, and for material changes, announce them through our regular channels.

We believe the aerospace industry deserves a news source that is honest about its methods. AI is a tool, not a replacement for the journalists who do the original reporting. We use it to make their work more accessible, and we owe it to you and to them to be straightforward about how.
