Countering Misinformation with AI and Human Language Technology

An MIT study of tweets found that “falsehood diffuses significantly farther, faster, deeper, and more broadly than the truth, in all categories of information, and in many cases by an order of magnitude.” The speed of AI is the only way to keep up with detecting, fact-checking and tagging cascades of misinformation.

Augmenting human efforts with the speed of AI is the only way to keep up with detecting, fact-checking and tagging cascades of misinformation. Second, tracking the flow of known misinformation as it spreads and gets repackaged and altered.

HLTCon includes insightful talks on human language technology and AI advances to combat misinformation and disinformation, as well as issues of data quality for training models and new technologies that are tackling old problems in new ways.
