Don’t know whether the content you’re seeing online is real? Or maybe it's AI generated content? As 2024 is the biggest election year in history, countering online mis/disinformation has become an increasingly urgent and pressing concern. Increasing capabilities of Generative AI is also resulting in rampant misuse of the tech towards the spread of mis/disinformation. In this episode of the CCG Tech Podcast, Aishwarya and Fawaz speak to Karen Rebelo about countering mis/disinformation online through fact-checking. They discuss the weaponisation of mis/disinformation, the misconceptions about fact-checking, the fact-checking process, and the challenges to fact-checking, particularly with the rise of AI-generated content.
Karen Rebelo is a journalist, fact-checker and Deputy Editor at BOOM Live, a fact-checking organisation based in Mumbai.
