=Why?= The PDF is something that can appeal to anyone who is simply striving to have slower, deeper conversations about AI and the news.
=Frustration= No matter where you land on AI, it seems to me most of us are tired of various framings and exaggerations in the news. Not the same ones, because we often disagree! We feel divided.
=The Toolkit= The European Broadcasting Union (EBU) and BBC have laid out their criteria in this report "News Integrity in AI Assistants Toolkit" [1] IMO, it is the hidden gem from the whole article.
- Let me get the obvious flaws out of the way. (1) Yes, it is a PDF. (2) It is nothing like a software toolkit. (3) It uses the word taxonomy, which conjures brittle and arbitrary tree classification systems -- or worse, the unspeakable horror of ontology and the lurking apparently-unkillable hydra that is the Semantic Web.
- But there are advantages too. With a PDF, you can read it without ads or endless scrolling. This PDF is clear. It probably won't get you riled up in a useless way. It might even give you some ideas of what you can do to improve your own news consumption or make better products.
All in all, this is a PDF I would share with almost anyone (who reads English). I like that it is dry, detailed, and, yes a little boring.
