What is Verity?
Features
How Verity Works
Every day, we employ cutting-edge machine learning (ML) systems to aggregate and organize news data from over 5,000 traditional and alternative sources, which we then use to draft our News Stories, Context Stories, Deep Dives and Controversies.
AI-generated first drafts are meticulously reviewed, edited, and refined by our team, who ensure that every fact is neutrally presented and agreed upon by opposing sides or grounded in primary sources. We also ensure that our narratives capture the strongest and most prevailing arguments on each side, and our controversies reflect a wide range of perspectives.
Who is Behind Verity?
Verity is managed by the Improve the News Foundation (ITN), an apolitical American 501(c)(3) nonprofit founded in October 2020 by MIT Professor Max Tegmark and Tufts Researcher Meia Chita-Tegmark — serving as president and treasurer/secretary, respectively.
A Global Team
Originally composed of MIT researchers, our team has since grown into a global network of collaborators from every continent except Antarctica, all carefully selected for their talent, integrity, and diverse intellectual and political perspectives.A Global Team
