Making Project Data More Accessible More Transparent Easier To Understand
- Chatting with Middle Ground is like talking to an expert on a project team. Middle Ground looks and functions much like popular and widely-used AI chatbots such as ChatGPT but is more precise and accurate.
- Middle Ground only uses information from the documents that projects provide, such as the environmental assessment documentation that’s typically uploaded to a site like the B.C. EPIC site. It will not pull information from websites or make up its own information.
- All answers are cited and linked to original studies and documents so that users can examine the original content for themselves.
- Public users can ask plain-language questions about a project and get plain-language answers based on the technical and scientific data created by in-house or external experts, which might be hard to find or understand in the midst of so much complex data.
- Middle Ground creates trust by allowing people to look at the science and technical information themselves, in a user-friendly and transparent way.
The public has questions about major projects.
Now they can find the answers in seconds.
