Our Vision

We are working with the community to help deliver a Dual AI Engine which tries to eliminate the potential influences/bias in the news by the means of similarity indexing and version control and helps connect the dots in facilitating the dissemination of impartial news conforming to the highest code of ethics possible.

We are working open because we believe that news should be non-influential to circumstances, operate independently from any influences/bias and should be prioritised based on the importance, free of any ulterior motives and validated by employing a proper community feedback loop.

Hey! We from #36 Jandig read your vision, looks really nice, but maybe you could improve the "Who you’re working with" and ["Who you’re doing it for"](), are you guys helping journalists or the general news public? Not very clear on first glance :)

Very intersting project. Your open canvas is very good too. Your Key Metrics could be a bit clearer; I mean how to assess an "Active contribution by community for datasets": will you count the number of contribution per dataset? Same comment for your second Key Metrics: "Able to identify the bias in a given data". How will you be able to say whether you have identified or not the bias in a given data? Will you count how many biases you have identified in a given dataset?

Hey! Thank you for your views. We have updated the canvas, with clear problem statement. We are going to provide an unbiased news to the public.

Hey! Right now, we aren't able to find any datasets on news articles as a whole. So, we are hoping the community would contribute in building the dataset. A roadmap of how to contribute and other details will be shared soon!

Same comment for your second Key Metrics: "Able to identify the bias in a given data". How will you be able to say whether you have identified or not the bias in a given data? Will you count how many biases you have identified in a given dataset?

Yes. First we decide with human intelligence and we metrics against the model.
