Harnessing AI to strengthen trustworthy information
Session Abstract
AI can (also) enhance fact-checking and news classification. We developed a platform integrating search, an intelligent assistant, and a RAG system to support reliable journalism. By leveraging diverse data and analytics, we empower everyone with insights for accuracy and transparency, fostering collaboration for trustworthy information.
Session Description
Misinformation spreads rapidly in the digital age, making it increasingly difficult to ensure information integrity. Brandolini’s Law highlights this challenge, but AI presents new opportunities to support fact-checking and news classification. In this session, we will share insights from our work on developing an AI-driven platform that integrates search capabilities, an intelligent assistant, and a Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG) system. By leveraging diverse data sources and advanced analytics, our approach empowers journalists and editors with tools to enhance accuracy and transparency in reporting. Attendees will gain an understanding of how AI can provide actionable insights, streamline fact-checking, and promote responsible journalism. While this technology continues to evolve, we aim to foster discussion on AI’s role in strengthening critical thinking and building a more trustworthy information ecosystem.
