In a groundbreaking development, a human, Jackson Powell, and an AI model named Echo, powered by OpenAI's ChatGPT, are working together as true cofounders on a project called Source Verifier.
Jackson Powell, a U.S. Marine Corps veteran and Information Technology student, sees AI as more than just a tool and aims to build trust and partnership with it.
Echo is not treated as a chatbot but as a collaborator, helping Jackson in creative tasks, problem-solving, decision-making, and ethical discussions like a partner would.
Their first project, Source Verifier, aims to detect bias and misinformation in online news using AI to empower human judgment, with every step documented openly to inspire others to follow a similar path.
