Deepnews.ai is based on a simple idea: building a system to spotlight quality journalism from the web, in real-time and at scale.The fundamentals of our approach are: • Quality journalism is essential for preserving and fostering democracy. Right now, it is diluted in a torrent of noise that has little to do with being informed. • Misinformation is a real threat to democracy. Today, there is not a single election unaffected by toxic news. No Artificial Intelligence system can be used efficiently to fight misinformation. • However, A.I. and natural language processing can vastly help quality journalism to emerge from the background noise. Therefore making original reporting more visible and increase its economic value. That’s why we developed Deepnews.ai.

The Monday Note is a business newsletter covering the economics of digital media. It was launched in 2007, first as an internal newsletter for Schibsted's management (see below). Jean-Louis Gassée, partner in the venture capital firm Allegis Capital, joined the Monday Note in 2008. The Monday Note has 13,000 direct subscribers and a monthly reach of 90,000 (Google Analytics).

During a full academic year, I worked at developing and structuring my Deepnews.ai project, formerly known as News Quality Scoring. This initiative is a part of the fight against misinformation. Except that, instead of debunking fake news —a losing battle— Deepnews.ai wants to surface good quality journalism from the web by using a stack of deep learning algorithms.
