Live & Operating
Traditional news aggregators optimize for engagement, creating filter bubbles and amplifying sensational content. This undermines democratic discourse by limiting exposure to diverse perspectives and critical analysis.
Smart-Trends.io applies constitutional AI principles to news aggregation:
Our system combines natural language processing with constitutional constraints, ensuring that algorithmic recommendations defend inquiry rather than manufacture consensus. Statistical rigor ensures diverse perspectives within evidence-based discourse.
Transparency Note: Our system prioritizes sources meeting journalistic integrity standards and excludes those consistently failing fact-checking or promoting disinformation. Source evaluation criteria are documented and open to examination.
Smart-Trends.io demonstrates that AI can enhance democratic discourse rather than undermine it. By prioritizing civic values over engagement metrics, we've created a system that serves the public interest while remaining commercially viable.
