Fighting hoaxes and hate speech on social networks using AI

/ Lecture

When comments on social networks are dominated by a minority with extremist views, it indirectly affects the opinions of the "silent majority" and the extreme suddenly becomes the new normal. Comment moderation is not the only solution to society's polarization, but it can significantly contribute to the solution. However, moderating all comments, refuting every hoax is not practically feasible due to the scope. Artificial intelligence that could recognize suspicious comments (also in the Slovak language) could be a solution. However, the appropriate use of AI does not consist in creating the ultimate censor, but in ensuring that the most harmful posts are automatically identified and that the moderator has a tool at his disposal for the most effective response. This is exactly what we tried to do within our project, while in the meantime we have already managed to achieve the first results in practice.
