This Startup Is Training AI to Gobble Up the News and Rewrite It Free of Bias

#artificialintelligence

Bias in journalism is nothing new, but there are growing concerns technology is pushing us into echo chambers where we only hear one side of the story. Now a startup says it's using AI to bring us a truly impartial source of news. Knowhere launched earlier this month, alongside an announcement that it had raised $1.8 million in venture capital. The site uses AI to aggregate news from hundreds of sources and create three versions of each story: one skewed to the left, one skewed to the right, and one that's meant to be impartial. Natural language processing algorithms trawl through more than a thousand news sources to identify popular stories, the company told Motherboard.
