"From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging. At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground."

"The latest wave of internet-based AI search tools often make mistakes, misread information and even give risky advice, according to a damning investigation by Which?. The Which? team surveyed 4,189 adults in the UK in September 2025 on their AI habits and found that about a third of them believe AI searches are more important to them than standard web searching."
Independent relies on donations to fund on-the-ground reporters covering issues from reproductive rights to climate change and Big Tech, and intentionally avoids paywalls so reporting remains accessible. A Which? investigation found internet-based AI search tools often make mistakes, misread information and give risky advice. Which? surveyed 4,189 UK adults in September 2025 and found about one-third value AI searches over standard web searches, with roughly half trusting AI outputs and trust rising to two-thirds among frequent users. Six AI tools were tested across 40 questions on finance, legal, health, and consumer issues and rated for accuracy, usefulness, and ethical responsibility.
