Paul Allen explains how his platform uses AI to transcribe every public government meeting and automatically generates objective news articles about the discussions. The system creates millions of articles annually, acting like journalists sitting in on local, state, and federal meetings to make government more transparent and accessible.
Paul Allen argues that while the newspaper industry has died over the past thirty years due to declining subscriptions and journalist layoffs, AI could provide the raw material to revive local news coverage. He envisions AI-powered content integrated with social networks, allowing people to discover and share local government stories like school board articles.
