AllAnalytics - Ariella Brown - How AI Can Help You Decide What to Trust in Online News

True story: one of my social media connections asked for recommendations for reliable new sources and got a few outlets named, though some of us -- myself included -- said that you simply cannot rely wholly on any single source and have to check through multiple sources to be sure you get the full picture of the facts in context to find where the truth lies. But not everyone is sophisticated enough to be aware that reports they see -- even from outlets with solid reputations -- need to be taken with a grain of salt. That's why Valentinos Tzekas founded FightHoax, the creator of an AI-powered algorithm that empowers anyone to ascertain if an article is fake or not in just seconds without Googling the story. Described with the tagline, "Fighting against the mass misinformation spread," FightHoax claims an accuracy rate of 89% based on the most recent and most user-requested 172 fact-checked articles). It is still in private beta and not fully public.
