The Daily's Verdict

This author has a mixed reputation for journalistic standards. It is advisable to fact-check, scrutinize for bias, and check for conflicts of interest before relying on the author's reporting.

Bias

85%

Examples:

  • The article seems to be biased towards promoting the benefits of AI and automation for businesses without providing enough evidence or context.
  • The author uses phrases like ‒Crushed to market’, which implies that only start-ups and established corporations can succeed in this sector, ignoring the potential of smaller players or new entrants.

Conflicts of Interest

50%

Examples:

  • However, it is possible that some of them have vested interests in promoting AI and automation technologies.
  • The article does not disclose any conflicts of interest for the sources quoted or the sponsors of the event.

Contradictions

50%

Examples:

  • The article also contradicts its own title by not focusing on how AI and automation will impact businesses in 2024, but rather discussing trends from previous years.
  • The article contradicts itself by claiming that AI will have a massive impact on the tech sector last year and then saying experts predict that automation will become more prominent this year.

Deceptions

80%

Examples:

  • For example, the author says that CIOs will invest more in enterprise automation to respond to uncertain environments, but does not provide any statistics or examples of how this will happen.
  • The article uses deceptive practices such as making vague predictions without providing any data or evidence to support them.
