New Website Using AI To Write Unbiased News

New Website Using AI To Write Unbiased News
The site, called Knowhere, will publish three versions of every article, aggregated from websites on the right, center and left of the political spectrum.

Knowhere editor-in-chief and co-founder Nathaniel Barling told Motherboard.

“Fake news, the Russia misinformation scandal, and all of these issues that are at the top of the Zeitgeist at the moment are all symptoms of a fundamental problem that information moves too fast and at too large a scale for us to be able to reliably parse it and understand the world as human beings.” 

Knowhere will search the internet using an algorithm that sorts through newly published articles in near real time to determine which stories are the most popular.

The site then publishes three versions of each article, right, impartial and left to show the reader how word selection and emphasis can result in biased reporting.

Barling says he believes his vision will be the future of journalism.

Knowhere will use at least two human editors to review every story before publishing to check for errors and style, so only time will tell if this site is truly unbiased.

Barling said:

“Everything gets reviewed, everything gets edited and everything is then reviewed post-editing as well so we have a check and balance between our journalist, our editorial team, and the algorithms themselves.”

Barling told Motherboard that he will be the final arbiter for every story.

“The buck stops with me,” he said.

To avoid spreading fake news themselves, Knowhere won’t publish a story until at least five verified sources have previously written about the topic.
