AI News Chatbot Pays Publishers Fairly
23 Jun
Summary
- A new AI chatbot exclusively uses reliable news sources.
- It offers a 50-50 revenue share model for publisher content.
- The service aims to combat misinformation and support news outlets.
A new AI chatbot, NewsGuard AI, has been introduced, drawing information solely from sources rated as reliable. This innovative product aims to combat the misinformation and manipulation prevalent in current AI systems by providing cited responses linked to original news outlets.
Most significantly for news publishers, NewsGuard AI introduces a unique 50-50 revenue share model, ensuring fair compensation for content used. This approach contrasts with the current practice where AI model makers often use publisher work without fair remuneration, leading to legal disputes.
NewsGuard AI is presented as a direct solution to these challenges, with its co-CEO stating it does the opposite of existing chatbots in every respect. The service leverages NewsGuard's extensive database of vetted news sources and its research into the shortcomings of popular AI models.
This new chatbot is being marketed to the general public as a personal fact-checker, capable of debunking false claims and directing users to primary sources. Marketing partners, including major publications like The Atlantic, are onboard to help promote the subscription-based service, which costs $6 per month.
