Spot misleading info while you read
Public Editor is a human-trained AI that labels specific reasoning mistakes in the daily news, so we all learn to avoid biased thinking.
Understand the news where you read
Newsreaders view labeled articles using our Chrome extension, newsfeed, or newsletter. Each article is given a credibility score (learn more) & is layered with in-line explanations detailing each type of reasoning error.
A reasoning checker not a fact checker.
We evaluate how claims are made, ensuring they use sound reasoning and solid evidence from credible sources, without misleading rhetoric.
Unbiased Annotation
Misleading information is labeled by a consensus of AI models designed to avoid political bias.
Annotating is a team effort!
Annotations are created by a consensus of AI agents that have been trained as specialists in different types of misinformation. Humans also train the AI to improve via a careful, scientific process.
Constantly Improving
Our AI models are performing well, and they will continually improve with human training. We welcome your input into the process!

Join our community of annotators!
Help us stop the spread of misinformation. Train as a citizen scientist to identify misinformation through a self-directed online curriculum! You will learn to identify issues with probability, language, reasoning, evidence and sources. You will then label the outputs from our Machine Learning models, playing a critical role in improving the Machine Learning labels used by our system.
