Truth Sleuth and Trend Bender: AI Agents to fact-check YouTube videos and influence opinions

Logé, Cécile, Ghori, Rehan

arXiv.org Artificial Intelligence

Misinformation poses a significant threat in today's digital world, often spreading rapidly through platforms like YouTube. This paper introduces a novel approach to combating misinformation by developing an AI-powered system that not only fact-checks claims made in YouTube videos but also actively engages users in the comment section and challenge misleading narratives. Our system comprises two main agents: Truth Sleuth and Trend Bender. Truth Sleuth extracts claims from a YouTube video, uses a Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG) approach - drawing on sources like Wikipedia, Google Search, Google FactCheck - to accurately assess their veracity and generates a nuanced and comprehensive report. Through rigorous prompt engineering, Trend Bender leverages this report along with a curated corpus of relevant articles to generate insightful and persuasive comments designed to stimulate a productive debate. With a carefully set up self-evaluation loop, this agent is able to iteratively improve its style and refine its output. We demonstrate the system's capabilities through experiments on established benchmark datasets and a real-world deployment on YouTube, showcasing its potential to engage users and potentially influence perspectives. Our findings highlight the high accuracy of our fact-checking agent, and confirm the potential of AI-driven interventions in combating misinformation and fostering a more informed online space.


You Might Have Noticed Something Strange With Google

Slate

This article is from Big Technology, a newsletter by Alex Kantrowitz. For years, Google dominated search with little opposition. The format faced little disruption; it was always just a bunch of blue links. And the company's multibillion-dollar deals with phone-makers to keep Google search as a default cemented its lead. But its comfortable perch is actually, really starting to fade.

All you need to know about the word2vec vectorisation

#artificialintelligence

Converting any form of data into numerical data has been an all time. In NLP alone there has been extensive research in the field of vectorising the natural language into numerical data. In this series of complete NLP blog series, let's do a deep dive into word2vec models and their variants. In 2013, Google introduced word2vec model that took the NLP world for a storm . Unlike the TF-IDF and Bag of words model, the most important aspect of word2vec model was, for the first time, vectorising a word considered the semantic outlook .

Yahoo Japan to close comment sections in event of defamatory posts

The Japan Times

Yahoo Japan Corp. said Tuesday that it has introduced a function to automatically shut comment sections of its news article site when defamatory posts are detected. Using artificial intelligence, the unit of Z Holdings Corp. will make it impossible for users to view or submit new comments based on the number of posts violating the site's policies and other criteria. The new function was introduced to coincide with the start of the official campaign period for the Oct. 31 Lower House election. A message urging users to take care not to make illegal posts on political news articles will be displayed during the campaign period. So far, Yahoo Japan has deleted the posts it has judged to be defamatory and suspended posts by users who repeatedly violated the site's comment policy.

The Four Maturity Levels Of ML Production Systems - AI Summary

#artificialintelligence

Like many ML practitioners, I started my ML journey with Kaggle competitions. But the comfortable setup of Kaggle, where you are handed largely clean data along with features and labels, could not be further from the reality of today's ML practitioner. In fact, the model building process itself is merely a small fraction of the work that needs to be done when developing an ML solution and deploying and maintaining it in production. It is useful to speak about ML production systems in terms of various degrees of maturity, where the least mature systems are one-off models, and the most mature systems run on autopilot, updating themselves with minimal human intervention. Here, I make a broad categorization of ML systems into four levels of increasing maturity, and discuss some of the challenges involved at each level. Disclaimer: given the choice of medium (a blog post, not a book chapter), this list will certainly be incomplete, and I didn't intend it to be.
