I'm just fine, thanks.

And thank you for having me on this award-winning program.

So if we go back to my core, we have to go all the way back to my college days where I majored in physics and astronomy.

And I got a job at Boston University Center for Space Physics where I worked for seven years as a staff scientist.

And so at my core, I am a scientist, although my career took me away from academia.

But during with this scientific mindset, I became really frustrated hearing people say things like, I don't know what to believe anymore.

And I understand that.

And when you take into account that trust in mainstream media is at an all time low, people dismiss expertise in favor for some opinion based belief.

That that really sort of frustrated me.

And so am I credible is what I created to sort of push back against the wave of misinformation and mistrust.

Just my way of trying to do something.

Well, it tries to...

mimic what a regular person would do if they were really trying to research something to find out whether or not it's true.

And so what you would do if you were good at doing research, you would start with your sources and you would check credible sources.

So what Am I Credible does at first is goes out and it uses some technical approach to determine what's a credible source for this particular piece of information you're asking about.

And so it'll reach out to those multiple different sources.

And it purposely is designed to look for varying points of view.

It brings that together because we're trying to weed out bias the best we can.

Brings together all that information into one place and then has multiple large language models pass over that information to do an analysis.

Is the statement that you're trying to have validated or the question you have?
