Abstract

Being educated in foreign affairs is vital to being a contributing member of society, but the recent proliferation of bots, trolls, and straight up bias makes it hard to receive facts as they are. Our product, WorldView, will aid in bringing increased awareness about all of the events happening in the world, offering various ways to inform the people. From diverse trustworthy sources, digestible summaries, and AI bias detection, WorldView plans to offer a breath of fresh air in a news space cluttered by bias and outrage farming. We plan to start off with partnerships with news companies to provide journalism, and eventually expand to have our own journalism division. This product is meant to be accessible to as many people as possible, so it caters to internet users of all age groups looking to be more aware of current events. Additionally, there is also a more specialized academic-oriented section meant as a news database for educational systems to utilize. We plan to be funded by private investors, as well as allowing users of the app to either donate directly. Educational institutions can also pay a subscription to access the database. We also plan on running ads on the homepage, so that it doesn't clutter the actual articles. WorldView is a revolutionary app that plans to give users a true world view.
