Tips to help identify AI-generated false news

Artificial intelligence-generated content is everywhere these days, making it increasingly difficult to separate fact from fiction, particularly when it comes to breaking news. The Iran war is just one example — since its outset, fake footage has reached countless people around the world. Some strategies for identifying these images include looking for visual cues, determining their origin, seeking out multiple reputable sources, making use of technology such as invisible digital watermarks and not immediately sharing content if its authenticity is unclear.

What resources, articles, and teaching materials on fact-checking for students and the general public do you know of? Thanks for sharing! 🤗

Do you know AuthentiSci? It is a web-based tool that allows scientists to verify scientific information in media articles and the general public to suggest articles for verification. It was developed @mpi_grav and the Lindau Nobel Laureate Meetings.

Really interesting tool! The challenge of bridging scientific verification with public accessibility is underrated. I've been working on something adjacent — Origin Lens, which focuses on C2PA/content provenance for images. Complementary angles on the same trust problem.

@maxplanckgesellschaft @mpi_grav Das könnte man doch mit einer AI sicher automatisieren. 🤔

Scherz! Super Idee. 👍
Sowas müsste es auch stärker bei Publikationen geben. Die Macht der Fachjournale - die zunehmend aufgekauft werden - ist zu groß.
