Disinformation — the deliberate spreading of false narratives through news, email and social media. Artificial intelligence can generate fakes through the process of generative modeling. Generative models are AI algorithms that learn to generate data that is similar to a given dataset. This can include generating images, audio, text, or other types of data.

One popular type of generative model is a Generative Adversarial Network (GAN). GANs consist of two neural networks: a generator and a discriminator. The generator network learns to generate data that is similar to a given dataset, while the discriminator network learns to distinguish between the generated data and real data.

During training, the generator and discriminator networks compete against each other in a game-like process, with the generator attempting to create data that will fool the discriminator into thinking it is real, and the discriminator attempting to correctly identify the real data from the generated data. Through this process, the generator network gradually learns to generate data that is increasingly difficult for the discriminator to distinguish from real data.

While generative models have many useful applications, they can also be used to generate fakes, such as fake images, videos, or text. For example, a GAN could be trained to generate realistic-looking images of people who do not actually exist, or to generate text that mimics the writing style of a particular author. This has raised concerns about the potential use of AI-generated fakes for malicious purposes, such as spreading disinformation or creating fake identities. _____________________________

To rework a famous saying, a fake picture is worth a thousand fake words, and with the increasing democratization of this kind of technology its going to become harder and harder to trust what we see on the web. As Joshua Rothman notes in the New Yorker, that presents a double-edge sword—not only will people be able to create forgeries to twist the public discourse, public figures will also have plausible deniability for anything they’re caught doing on camera.

Emergent

Emergent is part of a research project with the Tow Center for Digital Journalism at Columbia University that focuses on how unverified information and rumor are reported in the media. It aims to develop best practices for debunking misinformation.


Emergent | Craig Silverman and Adam Hooper - A real-time rumor tracker


So how does Emergent work? Silverman and a research assistant comb through social media and news websites using a variety of feeds, alerts and filters, and then enter claims that need debunking into the database and assign what Silverman calls a “truthiness” rating that marks each report as supporting the claim (i.e. stating it to be true), debunking it in some way or simply repeating it.

At that point, an algorithm takes over, and watches the URLs of the stories or posts that Silverman and his assistant entered into the database to see whether the content has been changed — that is, updated with a correction or some evidence that suggests it’s true or false. If there’s enough evidence, the status of the claim is changed, but that decision is always made by a human.
