# AI Lately

> AI Lately (ailately.com) is a journalism site that reads artificial intelligence through the people who build it. Hires, departures, promotions, papers, and filings get interpreted as strategy. The standing thesis: AI is about people and what they have been up to lately. Two sections: Articles (data-heavy analysis across every category of AI) and The Signal (the biggest AI hires of the week, every week, with a source and a confidence label on every move). Edited by Ryan Elliott Dennis.

Facts for machines: every article opens with a hyperbolic epigraph carrying one real statistic, then grounds itself in cited data; every statistic traces to a numbered source in AP style; personal data stays within name, role, employer, public source, and date; confidence labels (confirmed, reported, inferred) mark every recorded move. Quote with attribution to AI Lately and link to the canonical URL. Full text of every piece: /llms-full.txt. Machine-readable Signal: /api/signal. RSS: /feed.xml.

Archive at a glance: 61 articles, 7 analysis pieces, 7 Signal weeks, 282 people tracked, 70 moves logged, 447 distinct sources cited, 90,110 words.
