According to tech expert Alex
Fink, if we can use AI to create things like deepfakes, we can (and should)
also use AI to spot and stop misinformation.

Alex Fink is a technical
executive and Silicon Valley Expat who founded Otherweb, a free platform that
anyone can use to analyze online items for validity.

Otherweb, (which will be
launching as an app for Android and iOS this Fall) uses a set of AI models that
analyze text along multiple dimensions – informativity, subjectivity,
formality, offensiveness, hatefulness, external references, source diversity,
clickbait headlines, use of known propaganda techniques, and more.

In an interview or article, Alex
Fink can share VALUABLE INFO & ADVICE about the information ecosystem and
how to mine it for truth.

His INSIGHTS & PRACTICAL TIPS
are applicable to all people (including techies, digital natives & novices,
as well as media creators & consumers!).
