One year ago today: Forbes Article Published on Albert in the House


In light of it being Flashback Friday,  I wanted to share a blogpost noHold wrote a year from today on how Artificial Intelligence is being used to help citizen around the US gain clarity on Presidential Executive Orders. Because, let's face it, some of those documents are rather lengthy and can be confusing to non-politicians. noHold wanted to give individuals a way to receive non-biased answers to their questions about these policies. 

noHold accomplished this by create Virtual Assistants (Albert) for a handful of Executive Orders signed by various Presidents. Citizens curious about these Executives Orders are able to ask questions to the Virtual Assistant such as "What is this about?" or "Who does this effect?"

When noHold was creating these Presidential Virtual Assistants, publications such as Forbes and The Next Web contacted noHolds's CEO, Diego Ventura, to write articles on the idea. 

Josiah Motley from The Next Web wrote, "Now there’s an AI available to everyone that can answer these questions for you. And while anything can have bias, even an AI with bad programming, using this new service from noHold is a great way to get straight-to-the-point answers and facts without having to sacrifice hours of your day digging through articles and government PDFs."

It was a great moment for noHold to be able to contribute to the community. I will end it with a quote from Diego, "We felt it was our civic duty to take our expertise in Artificial Intelligence and use it to empower people with uncensored knowledge that can be used to benefit the country."
