Companies are turning to artificial intelligence to help understand their external environment. However, AI models require access to high-quality training data in order to learn.
The availability of digital news can make it difficult to discern between a signal and noise, but Financial Times journalism is unique for 3 key reasons:
- Accuracy
All of the information we report is doubled-sourced, and quality is never compromised
for speed. - Limited bias
Our politically neutral stance and balanced global reporting enables confident understanding of significance and helps to separate hype from fact. - Connected coverage
Our detailed analysis and contextual understanding of events over time creates unique connections in a knowledge graph.
