Meta made a fact-checking AI to help verify Wikipedia citations

In 2020, the Wikipedia community was engulfed in scandal when it came out that a US teen had written 27,000 entries in a language they didn't speak. The episode was a reminder that the online encyclopedia is not a perfect source of information. Sometimes people will attempt to edit Wikipedia entries out of malice, but frequently factual errors come from some well-intentioned individual making a mistake. That's a problem the Wikimedia Foundation recently partnered with Facebook parent company Meta to address. The two set their sights on citations.
