The race for content verification
“Kleiner Sendesaal” at rbb in Berlin
Watch out for 23rd of November! The news-polygraph research alliance invites journalists, media professionals and interested parties to its free kick-off event in the “Kleiner Sendesaal” at rbb in Berlin.
Together, we want to address the question of how to stay ahead in the AI-driven race between increasingly professional, persuasive disinformation and better verification technologies.
We want to understand your needs, share our plans for developing new tools and start a dialogue with you. You can expect a curated day of expert presentations in German and occasionally in English, networking and panel discussions including dpa-Faktencheck, the ARD-Politikmagazin Kontraste, Medienanstalt Berlin-Brandenburg and #Faktenfuchs from Bayerischer Rundfunk.
Fraunhofer IDMT will present the R&D vision of the project as well as selected challenges and tools for the verification of audio-visual media data.
In its research project of the same name, the news-polygraph research alliance aims to develop a technology platform that uses artificial intelligence to identify disinformation ("fake news"). The alliance is funded by the German Federal Ministry of Education and Research (Bundesministerium für Bildung und Forschung, BMBF).
