A survey of more than 2500 U.S. adults indicates that of five journalism values tested, facts mattered most, but still 1/3 overall didn’t feel facts are the key to knowing what’s true.  There’s even less agreement with other journalism values, with just 29% agreeing that exposing problems is the best way for society to solve them. Support for these values had less to do with political party or ideology than with moral instincts that cut across demographics.

The U.S. Federal Trade Commission has just released a statement reminding companies that laws are in place to guard against discrimination that can occur from the use of artificial intelligence. This may indicate where emphasis could be placed in future enforcement actions.
