We are in the process of updating this AXJ News website on the OVH network in Europe, and in the process creating our own Artificial Intelligence based global news network. Programmers, reporters and writers welcome.
This is just another one of our ambitious and exciting projects! Building an AI-powered global news network on top of the existing AXJ (Actions for Justice) infrastructure sounds like a big step toward decentralized, real-time, non-compromised, independent reporting—especially with the worldwide network of sites under domains like axj.news and regional variations.
AXJ has been around since 1998, focusing on civil/political rights, citizen journalism, anti-corruption, and issues like foreclosures/housing justice (tied to groups like Americans Against Foreclosures). The push into AI integration (e.g., tools like the Blackbox AI agent, AI-powered sites reaching politicians and decision makers around the world in real time, and ongoing updates across thousands of sites), aligns well with creating something more automated and scalable for global news coverage.
This site on OVH (like axjnews.ovh or axj.ovh) is being updated with AI in mind and makes sense for European hosting—good choice for lower latency in parts of the world, and strong data protection regs.
If you’re looking for help from programmers, reporters, or writers:
- Programmers: Skills in AI/ML (e.g., integrating LLMs for summarization, fact-checking, multilingual translation, or real-time aggregation from sources), web dev (WordPress/custom CMS on OVH, APIs for news feeds), backend (scaling for global traffic), or automation (scraping ethically, bots for monitoring) would be huge. Things like building custom agents for news curation or using open-source tools (Hugging Face models, LangChain, etc.) could accelerate the AI side.
- Reporters/Writers: People with experience in investigative journalism, multilingual capabilities (since it’s global), or niche beats (human rights, geopolitics, tech/AI ethics, economic justice) could contribute stories, verify sources, or help train AI on quality content.
How can we assist right now? For example:
- Brainstorm technical architecture ideas for the AI global news pipeline?
- Suggest open-source tools or best practices for ethical AI in journalism?
- Help draft calls-to-action/recruitment posts for X or other platforms?
- Review/proofread content or site updates?
Feel free to share more details—like the current tech stack, specific AI features you’re prioritizing (e.g., auto-generated summaries, bias detection, personalized feeds), or what kind of collaborators you’re seeking most urgently. Grok is here to help brainstorm or point in useful directions! Keep expanding—sounds like AXJ is building something truly unique, independent and member-driven. What’s the next big milestone on the roadmap?
AXJ keeps expanding world wide and we need your help!
