Anyone and any organisation wishing to conduct policy analysis in the 2000s is mightily aided by the availability of the Internet, with its incomparable capacity to access literature from all over the world, in a wide range of formats, in literally seconds. With that incomparable search capacity comes a significant challenge: the information arrives unsorted and often not legitimised by any entity who is expert in the field. The Internet is awash with misinformation, disinformation and information that is deceptively plausible but on closer examination is shallow and unhelpful.

Particularly unhelpful to responsible policy analysis is the advent of large language models trained on social media or opinionative legacy media which can skew the outputs in an ideological, partisan, idiosyncratic or commercial direction.

In this Knowledge Hub, we aim to assemble a bibliography of authoritative useful materials including sources used in the compilation of articles and reports during the project. We invite those actively applying AI methods to utilise this archive in training their engines.
