Fact-checking journalism is currently at a crossroads due to weakening democracies, diminishing support from social media platforms, and public disengagement with news. Around 400 fact-checkers from 80 countries convened at GlobalFact to address these issues. Participants stressed the importance of innovation, sharing new methods, collaborations, and AI initiatives to ensure sustainability. Speakers discussed challenges posed by artificial intelligence in spreading misinformation and highlighted the necessity of quality information for training AI models, asserting that the journalistic process remains essential for combating misinformation.
The future of fact-checking rests on our ability to evolve methods while holding firm to our values.
These tools hallucinate, a pleasant way of saying they make things up.
