The AI4TRUST project aims to combat misinformation and disinformation in the EU by creating a trust-based environment that integrates the automated monitoring of social and news media with advanced AI-based technologies to enhance the work of human fact-checkers.
The general objective of AI4TRUST project aims to enhance the human-based response for tackling misinformation and disinformation across the EU by empowering scientific researchers and media practitioners with advanced AI-based technologies that:
- Allow multichannel (distinct online social media and news feeds), multilingual (70% coverage of EU media/users) and multimodal (textual, visual and audio content) monitoring, detection and recording of misinformation and disinformation on online social media and traditional media;
- Estimate the risk of unreliable information consumption;
- Create a trustworthy online environment involving researchers, media practitioners and policy makers to facilitate the creation and distribution of reliable information and counternarratives, while labelling and countering mis/disinformation.
