How does GIDEON handle paywalled articles in the Events tab?

Quick answer: GIDEON prioritizes open-access sources. While our AI can technically generate summaries based on the visible preview of a paywalled article, these links are generally filtered out during our human review process. This ensures that users can access the full story from a free alternative.

How the AI Summarizes Paywalled Content

If a paywalled article is encountered, GIDEON AI follows strict logic to maintain data integrity:

  • Visible previews only: The AI only summarizes the partial preview or abstract that is publicly visible to the system. It never guesses or "hallucinates" hidden content.
  • Information safeguard: If the available preview text is too short to provide meaningful context, the system automatically triggers a safeguard, and no summary is generated.

Quality Control and Human Review

While the AI is capable of evaluating partial previews, our team prioritizes data accessibility during the final curation phase:

Core Curation Policy: When encountering paywalled articles during review, we generally do not approve them. Because major outbreak events are covered by multiple media outlets, our team actively selects high-quality alternative sources that are completely free and open-access.

As a result of this human-in-the-loop validation, the vast majority of articles featured in the Events tab are entirely free to read.
