AI will stop the spread of disinformation
RISE’s Fact Checking AI project will build systems able to verify the veracity of various statements in digital channels. The software will detect disinformation, verify the accuracy of information, and quantify the quality of references in order to stop fake news from spreading.
–´“There is virtually an infinity of information,” says Ather Gattami, Head of Intelligent Dynamical Systems at RISE. “A computer with AI can correlate facts from millions of sources and appraise the veracity of a statement. If we, for instance, read online that Stalin murdered more people than Hitler and are not sure whether this is true or false, AI can search through references, reliable sources, numbers, and so on to quickly determine whether the statement is true or false.”
