Techstination, your destination for gadgets and gear. I’m Fred Fishkin. Gigafact is the name of a non-profit working with local newsrooms around the country to help filter out misinformation. It is non-partisan and is using AI in a tool called Parser to assist in fact checking. Co-founder Robyn Sundlee..says local news organizations are provided with Fact Briefs for publication..
“ They are really short fact checks. They all start with a question and then a yes or no answer. One example ....there was a rumor floating around on Reddit that was about ..is it true that the Chinese own all of North Texas toll ways? And this was a viral rumor that was circulating and our partner, Fort Worth Report, was able to publish a fact brief that actually de-bunked this rumor.”
There’s more info on the efforts at www.Gigafact.org.
