🔍 New Article: The Future of AI Fact-Checking as Platforms Step Back Meta's ending US fact-checking programs - could AI fill the gap? My latest piece examines: - Why current LLMs can't fully automate fact-checking (and where they fail) - How fact-checkers are actually using AI today (hint: mostly for prep work) - The promise of user-driven... Read the full analysis here: https://lnkd.in/g9cDutE4 The limitations of current LLMs in understanding nuanced context and combating adversarial examples are crucial hurdles for full automation. It's fascinating how fact-checkers are already leveraging AI for tasks like source identification and claim clustering, essentially augmenting their workflows. Decentralized platforms present a unique opportunity to empower users with AI-driven verification tools, fostering a more transparent and accountable information ecosystem.

Given the potential for bias in training data, how can we ensure that user-driven verification tools remain equitable and resistant to manipulation by malicious actors? 🚀 Generative AI is reshaping how we moderate online speech — shifting from static filters to context-aware moderation engines that interpret intent, tone, and emotion. ⚔️ But the paradox is real: the same models that can defend against misinformation can also generate it — deepfakes, synthetic narratives, and AI-driven persuasion at scale. 🔍 The next wave in Trust & Safety will hinge on: • Neural moderation systems that understand semantics • Bias-adaptive learning for global fairness • Human-in-the-loop oversight for ethical governance The key question is:...

A significant concern raised was the potential obsolescence of creative professionals who do not adopt AI tools. While some panelists believe that originality will always be valued, others warned that artists risk being outperformed by their peers who leverage AI effectively. A consensus emerged that understanding and integrating AI into creative practices could be crucial for future success. Thinking of it as a strategic tool that can augment rather than replace your unique skills and talents might be the key to staying relevant. https://lnkd.in/esGRQbrf Your research is the real superpower - learn how we maximise its impact through our leading community journals
