About AI4Debunk
Project overview
OUR VISION
Recognizing the persistent and evolving nature of disinformation, AI4Debunk focuses on the symbiotic relationship between humans and advanced AI tools. Our innovative approach involves bridging the sociological aspects of disinformation with concrete AI-based solutions to deter it.
Through AI4Debunk, users will gain access to resources, knowledge, and skills, empowering them to detect disinformation in the ever-changing digital landscape. Our priority is to develop user-friendly and inclusive tools to reach individuals of all ages, genders, interests, and online environments.
AI4Debunk responds to the European Commission call for a coordinated response to combat disinformation, and is fully in line with the European Democracy Action Plan (EDAP) principles, namely:
Promoting free and fair elections
Strengthening media freedom
Countering disinformation
Our Goals
AI4Debunk will deliver a comprehensive description and analysis of the entire disinformation process, counteracting the prevalent tendency to view it in isolated parts rather than as a whole.
AI4Debunk will consolidate all data in one place, irrespective of its modality (e.g.: audio, video, image), enabling simultaneous analysis, facilitating comparisons with existing datasets, and ultimately streamlining disinformation debunking.
AI4Debunk will establish a connection between AI experts, disinformation analysts and citizens, promoting collaborative efforts in the fight against disinformation.
AI4Debunk’s interfaces will prioritise the human factor and, therefore, will be user-centric and ergonomic, allowing citizens to check content at their convenience.
AI4Debunk will introduce the disinfoscore, a score of fakeness assigned to each content, accompanied by detailed explanations. This will be available in all interfaces.
AI4Debunk will support young people by creating educational materials aimed at teaching them how to critically assess information online and spot misleading or fake content.
