help detect misinformation
Here's how we're using AI to help detect misinformation
Artificial Intelligence is a critical tool to help protect people from harmful content. It helps us scale the work of human experts, and proactively take action, before a problematic post or comment has a chance to harm people. Facebook has implemented a range of policies and products to deal with misinformation on our platform. These include adding warnings and more context to content rated by third-party fact-checkers, reducing their distribution, and removing misinformation that may contribute to imminent harm. But to scale these efforts, we need to quickly spot new posts that may contain false claims and send them to independent fact-checkers -- and then work to automatically catch new iterations, so fact-checkers can focus their time and expertise fact-checking new content.
