About Ethical AI
Ethical Web's revolutionary new platform is the next step in the evolution of search. Its SaaS (Software as a Service) patented super app is the natural progression from unsafe, tracked generic searches through established market-leading search engines that no longer provide accurate or safe results based on customer searches.
A traditional web search uses a generic search tool and not a market specialist, and this market dominance of generic search is now being diluted with specific search apps. Customers are now searching in greater detail for specific goods and services through these single service apps, e.g. Uber Eats, AirBnb, etc., removing the need for unsafe generic search engines. These apps are tailored to customers' needs in a more user-friendly, less ad-driven environment, simplifying their searches. Their primary disadvantages are that users need to have more and more apps on their phones while those users' data is tracked, collected, and increasingly sold to third parties. Further, these apps are hugely expensive for the vendors based on an extortionate commission-based business model. While the user journey is improved, it remains problematic and far from ideal --, but the cost to the suppliers gives them little to no alternatives to advertise themselves in an essential space. Ethical AI aims to disrupt this space with its next-generation technology radically and offer significant benefits for consumers and merchants.
