LA Times to Introduce AI-Driven Bias Meter on Articles
TL;DR Summary
Patrick Soon-Shiong, owner of the Los Angeles Times, plans to introduce an AI-powered 'bias meter' to assess the bias of article sources, aiming to provide balanced perspectives. This move follows controversies under his ownership, including blocking the endorsement of Kamala Harris, which led to staff resignations and subscriber cancellations. Soon-Shiong's initiative has faced criticism from the LA Times staff union, which defends their adherence to ethical journalism standards. The bias meter is part of his broader effort to include more conservative voices in the paper's opinion section.
