The BestWorld Project Purpose & Goals
It’s well known that journalism and social media are facing a fact drought, making it increasingly difficult to know what information you can trust. That’s why BestWorld is working to reimagine both traditional and social media-based news.
You can become a part of this groundbreaking project as one of the first BestWorld citizen journalists reporting what’s now and, more importantly, what comes next.
No matter where or when big news breaks, you’ll be armed with a bleeding-edge artificial intelligence (AI) platform that will find people on the scene. BestWorld’s system provides you with their accounts and even translates them for you if you don’t speak the local language. But that’s not all you’ll do.
You’ll collaborate with our community of seasoned news forecasters and our AI forecasting system to analyze and predict how your breaking news story might unfold over the coming days, weeks, even years. This isn’t something far off in a distant future. That future is now.
The BestWorld team is already experimenting with this concept on a small and partial scale at INFER. Join us there to get a glimpse of what’s next to come–and a chance to win prize money.
We also are about to launch a test of this system. Details here.
BestWorld’s Mission
The internet has been a powerful tool for the dissemination and democratization of knowledge. But opening of the door to the free spread of vital information carries the equal potential for misinformation. BestWorld helps individuals approach the information they consume unassertively, while providing them tools to establish the veracity of what they’re seeing. Our goal is simple: to empower individuals like you to become better-equipped to find, process, and share trustworthy, fact-based information. To do this, we give you access to advanced AI, our team of super forecasters, and more.
Armed with these tools, you’ll be come a bonafide citizen journalist, able to not only report on world events but also predict what comes next–often with great accuracy. The result: a fact-based source of news and information for the post-fact era.
We invite you to learn about BestWorld, our team, and why we believe in what we’re doing. Keep reading to find out more.
ABOUT BESTWORLD
BestWorld Combines Superforecasting and AI
to Revolutionize the Post-Digital Age
BestWorld Combines Pro Forecasters, AI, and, if you wish, you! to revolutionize the post-digital age.
You’ve probably met people who usually can tell the future with surprising accuracy. Perhaps you are one of these–or soon will be. Succcessful forecasters consider a situation, examine the factors that led up to it…often sleep on it…and then say how they think the situation will turn out. We aren’t always successful. Sometimes even the most famed forecasters miss. However, usually, we’re pretty close. And many times, we’re right on the money. Our team combines the foresight and of some of the best forecasters in the world, with the world’s most accurate AI technology. Our team also includes researchers positioned at the intersection of computer science, sociology, and the media gives us the edge to make it all happen.
With BestWorld, you never have to suss out our biases or guess at our motives. We’re open, transparent, and proud to share everything our team is about. In fact, we put our guiding principles out front.
