The Inlink News method is a news service method that displays the news text ‘inside the portal’ when the user clicks the news title in the main portal. The reason why portals stick to the in-link method is that it brings huge advertising revenue to portals. According to the in-link method, it is possible to post comments on the portal site and arrange the news as intended by the portal site, thereby manipulating comments and public opinion. In the Inlink News method, the news editing right is not actually exercised by the press, but by the profit-seeking portal company. On the other hand, in the Outlink News method, when viewing news on a portal, it is linked to the homepage of the media rather than to the internal page of the portal. The reason why the outlink method is an alternative to solving the problem of comment manipulation is that, unlike the ‘inlink’ method, which concentrates users in one place, users are dispersed and users post comments on the homepage of the media company. In particular, by going to the homepage of the media company that produces the news and viewing the news, and by posting comments on the homepage of the media company, it is possible to express opinions freely centered on the media company that produced the news. The outlink method can reduce side effects such as driving public opinion and manipulating public opinion in portals.
Since AI fairness is a difficult problem to be solved internally by the entity that designs and operates AI, disclosure and continuous ‘external verification’ must be carried out within a certain range to secure the transparency of the portal AI algorithm, so that it can gradually move in a fair direction. It is necessary to legalize an expert-centered ‘Algorithm Transparency Committee’. It is appropriate to set up an expert-centered ‘Algorithm Transparency Committee’ as a legal organization, verify algorithm standards, and disclose the results. The need for algorithm verification is great because false information is circulated on portal sites as it is without filtering through algorithms, which is the cause of the spread of fake news.
It is necessary to maintain the neutrality and fairness of the portal AI algorithm and a supervision system. From the news provided by domestic and foreign portals, it is necessary to verify and verify the design value level and content of artificial intelligence (AI) applied to all service fields that actually affect the public, and whether or not there is a difference by service and the current status. It is necessary to change the news service method of the portal site from the current ‘in-link’ (news within the portal site) to ‘out-link’. In order to minimize user and market confusion, the transition to outlink should be promoted step by step with a long breath. At the same time as introducing outlinks, it is necessary to seek ways to strengthen the competitiveness and independence of media outlets. As an amendment to the Act on the Promotion of Newspapers, etc., portals are currently prohibited from ‘providing’, ‘arranging’, and ‘reprinting’(in-linking) news through their own news service, and news content is searched and published on media sites. It should be amended to allow only ‘mediation’ so that it can only be accessed through the outlink method.
