Artificial Intelligence Fact-checking Automation
Περίληψη
The modern society of platforms has made fact-checking a crucial process aimed at mitigating the threat of the spread of fake or distorted news and enhancing the credibility of digital public discourse. As a result, there has been an increase in related projects worldwide, especially since 2014. This research focuses on mapping fact-checking technologies and identifies a wide range of tools, which are classified into three categories based on their use: identification, verification and distribution of content. At the same time, the increasing automation in this field has raised concerns regarding the real dynamics of the role of fact-checkers. The aim of this study is, using as example the fact-checking platform https://check4facts.gr/ , to critically discuss the steps and work techniques adopted by a fact-checker in order to investigate the question of whether and to what extent the automation brought by machine learning and artificial intelligence technologies enhance or weaken the value and dynamics of this work.
