AI4Debunk

AI4Debunk aims to develop four human-centered AI interfaces to provide citizens with a comprehensive set of fact-checking resources to navigate the digital media landscape more consciously and make informed decisions.

Funded by the European Union (EU) through the Horizon Europe program, the project brings together an interdisciplinary consortium of 13 partner institutions from eight countries: University of Latvia (Latvia) – project coordinator, EURACTIV, Pilot4DEV, University of Mons (Belgium), Internews Ukraine (Ukraine), CNR, University of Florence (Italy), Barcelona Supercomputing Center (Spain), DOTSOFT (Greece), University of Galway, F6S Innovation (Ireland), Utrecht University of Applied Sciences, INNoVaTiVe POWER (Netherlands)

The impacts

In recent years, the proliferation of disinformation has become a major issue throughout Europe. The pervasive use of the Internet and social media has facilitated the spread of fake news and propaganda, heavily influencing public opinion, as demonstrated during the Covid-19 pandemic and, more recently, the Russian invasion of Ukraine. In this context, a synergistic combination of human efforts and sophisticated artificial intelligence (AI) tools is the only sustainable way to effectively combat the “infodemic” and the battle of narratives we are facing.

By promoting transparency, accuracy, and responsible engagement with online platforms, AI4Debunk strives to foster critical thinking and strengthen the fabric of civil society.
