AI Humane execs leave company to found AI fact-checking startup

Two former Humane executives, Brooke Hartley Moy and Ken Kocienda, have left the company to establish their own startup called Infactory, focusing on AI fact-checking. The project aims to provide a fact-checking search engine that pulls information from trusted sources without implementing AI in the results themselves. Infactory plans to use subscription pricing targeted at enterprise customers like newsrooms and research facilities. The founders emphasize the importance of accurate data sources and plan to focus exclusively on data at the launch. The startup has raised a pre-seed round of funding, with future seed funding as a priority. Despite Humane's struggles post-launch, the co-founders deny that their departure was directly influenced by the company's challenges. Infactory's launch is expected in the coming months, with a focus on utilizing AI to enhance fact-checking processes.
