We look at how AI is playing out in fact-checking organisations and newsrooms, and how it can work to the advantage of fact-checkers and journalists. From machine learning tools to deep fakes, Catherine shares key information on how AI influences the spread of misinformation online and gives helpful tips on how to spot AI-generated content.
