Combating Misinformation in Times of Crisis

Описание: June 30, 2020 - During times of crisis when the risks are elevated, it is especially critical that we ensure the availability of accurate and authoritative information across social media and web-based platforms. How did companies and governments work together to combat misinformation and elevate reliable information in the early days of the COVID-19 pandemic, was it enough, and was this different than responses to other crises? How can or should AI be used--or not used--to review content and to aid in crisis response? Where is the line between content moderation and censorship and who should define it?
