Terms of Use

1. Who we are

Current News is operated by The AI Playground, a Melbourne-based startup. You can contact us at feedback@the-ai-playground.com.

2. Nature of the service

Current News is an AI-assisted news aggregation and analysis service. We collect publicly available articles from reputable Australian news outlets (ABC, The Guardian, Sydney Morning Herald, The Age, SBS, and News.com.au), cluster related articles together, and use AI to generate consensus summaries identifying facts reported by two or more independent sources.

Current News is:

• Not a news publisher. We do not produce original journalism.
• Not a fact-checking service. We surface cross-source agreement, not independently verified truth.
• Not affiliated with any of the news organisations we index.

3. AI-generated content disclaimer

The summaries, consensus points, and analyses on this site are generated using artificial intelligence (Claude by Anthropic). AI systems can make mistakes, misinterpret sources, or produce inaccurate summaries.

You must not rely on any content on this site for legal, medical, financial, investment, or any other professional advice. Always follow the source links to read the original reporting and consult qualified professionals where appropriate.

The AI Playground accepts no liability for any loss or damage arising from your reliance on AI-generated content on this site.
