A little while ago, we embarked on a bold mission to revolutionize the way we approach truth and information with myaifactchecker.org. What began as a vision is now turning into a global movement, and I’m beyond excited to share the incredible milestones we’ve reached together. Our adventure started with a spark of curiosity and a commitment to making a difference. We knew that to truly make an impact, we needed to partner with the best and brightest. That’s why we’re thrilled to have joined forces with the Stanford University Deliberative Democracy Lab—a powerhouse in promoting informed discussions and democratic engagement to train teachers on how they cab use AI to teach Media Literacy in classrooms. Next, we took a leap into the Google for Startup Accelerator Africa. This was more than just an opportunity; it was a chance to amplify our impact across the continent(Best wishes to our team who are gonna be Pitching on Thursday 19/09/2024) Our tool quickly gained traction, earning us the title of Best Tool as voted by journalists and newsrooms in Africa during NDI, CDD and Global Affairs Canada events. Knowing that our solution is trusted and valued by those on the front lines of information is incredibly rewarding. We also commissioned a research in collaboration with meta. Our mission also included empowering others to join the fight for truth. We launched a fellowship program that trained 41 passionate journalists, tech enthusiasts, and newsroom professionals on the power of AI. Watching them grow and embrace these new skills has been one of the most fulfilling parts of this journey. With each step forward, we’ve had the honor of being recognized by industry giants. Joining the Microsoft for Startup Founders Hub and being featured by Meta are testaments to the hard work and innovation of our team. These endorsements have opened new doors and opportunities for us to expand our reach and impact. And now, we’re stepping onto the global stage with full support to present our solution in Canada! This is an exciting new chapter, and it wouldn’t be possible without the incredible resilience and dedication of our team(Have your flowers, colleagues). Thank you for being part of this journey. Your support fuels our drive to push boundaries and make a difference. #InnovationJourney #GlobalImpact #Teamwork #AI #FactChecking #Empowerment #StartupSuccess
