FAQ
- How does Smart Answers work?
Smart Answers is based on a genAI platform, built by our partner Miso.ai and trained on editorial content from CIO, Computerworld, CSO, InfoWorld, and Network World. It responds to queries posed in natural language with a summarized answer and links to source documents. - Can I trust Smart Answers?
We have made every effort to ensure that Smart Answers provides a quality user experience. Answers are based on articles written by our journalists and Smart Answers does not use data from any external sources. Extensive testing has gone on behind the scenes to help train the model, so we are satisfied that it is able to provide reliable information, although we believe the best policy with anything generated by AI is to trust but verify. We’ve also worked hard with partner Miso.ai to eliminate ‘hallucinations’ – these are misleading or wholly incorrect answers that may be given when the answer is not known or the data required to answer the question is incomplete. If Smart Answers is unable to answer your question, it will tell you so. - Is Smart Answers being used to create editorial content?
No. Editorial articles feed into Smart Answers, but Smart Answers is not used in the creation of editorial articles. - What data does Smart Answers collect?
We are recording queries submitted via Smart Answers to help us better understand reader interest. Smart Answers also collects anonymized user data that allows us to better understand the interests and intent of readers visiting our websites.
