Questions about this coverage
- How did the left and right cover Trump proposes renaming artificial intelligence?
- Of the 14 outlets on this story carrying a published leaning rating, 14% are rated left, 7% are rated centre, 79% are rated right. Those percentages are shares of the rated outlets, not of every outlet that ran it, which was 31. The sections above set out what each side emphasised, in its own terms.
- Is Trump proposes renaming artificial intelligence left or right?
- The story itself is neither. What can be counted is who has covered it, and 79% of the 14 rated outlets on it are rated right — so far this is a story carried mostly by the right. Coverage is still arriving and that can change, which is why the figure is dated rather than fixed.
- Is the coverage of Trump proposes renaming artificial intelligence biased?
- Trump proposes renaming artificial intelligence is one event reported by 31 outlets, and this page does not rate the story as biased or unbiased.

A leaning rating describes an outlet's record over time, not this article, and the two should not be run together.
