The war on fake news can be won

Summary

MBZUAI Professor Preslav Nakov believes AI can outpace human fact-checkers in detecting fake news by analyzing language and sentence structure. AI systems can identify common sources of fake news and flag domains for blocking. Nakov's research focuses on disinformation, fact checking, and media bias detection. Why it matters: AI-driven solutions for combating fake news could help mitigate the spread of misinformation and its impact on society, especially in the Arabic-speaking world.
