  • Parlia: building an encyclopaedia of opinion by Turi Munthe

    • Speaker:

      Turi Munthe

    • Recorded:

    • Duration:

    About this video

    Parlia is an encyclopaedia of opinion, structured as a wiki and enabled by AI. On the premise that there is a finite number of common opinions and arguments around any subject, we seek to ‘map’ them all. We are not a debate site. Our objective is to build an internet-scale media platform showcasing all opinions in a calm, descriptive voice, and to build a powerful back-end data service to help us understand the very nature of opinion. Our social networks – Facebook, YouTube and Twitter – accelerate and monetise online polarisation. We believe Parlia can play a major role in calming factionalism by helping its readers understand their own opinions and those of others. A prototype grant from Google’s DNI built the platform we now have.
