"Researchers Use AI And Create Early Warning System to Identify Disinformation Online"
Researchers at the University of Notre Dame are using artificial intelligence to develop an early warning system that will be able to identify deepfake videos, manipulated images, and disinformation online. The researchers are taking on this project to help combat the rise of coordinated social media campaigns to sew discord, incite violence, and threaten the integrity of democratic elections. The automated system uses content-based image retrieval and applies computer vision-based techniques to root out political memes from multiple social networks. The researchers collected more than 2 million images and content from various sources on Twitter and Instagram to test the system they were creating.
