NewsGuard launches world’s first news aggregation chatbot
 
 
NewsGuard, a company whose journalists have evaluated the reliability of over 36,000 online news sources since 2018, have launched NewsGuard AI – the world’s first news aggregation chatbot built to deliver reliable responses to prompts on topics in the news. Responses from over 12,000 news and information sources have been carefully vetted by NewsGuard’s journalists for reliability. It’s available now at www.newsguard.ai. “While the leading AI models regularly generate false claims about controversial news topics, NewsGuard AI offers a new, trustworthy solution,” said the company. 
Unlike many AI systems based on publisher content without attribution or compensation, NewsGuard AI cites publishers in its responses, and will share revenues 50-50 with all news publishers whose journalism is cited. “This gives users of NewsGuard AI quick, convenient access to the best journalism, and provides journalists with much-needed funding,” creators added. Publishers earning revenue from citations can also generate new subscription revenue as Co-Marketing Partners by introducing NewsGuard AI to their own readers.
