“…Journalists [125,193,276], professional fact-checkers [208,208], and automatic disinformation detection systems [12,53,152,332] have contributed to countering the infodemic. However, bad actors are using a disinformation dynamic that journalists and academics have not yet been able to address [83].…”

Artificial intelligence is changing the way our world works, and the journalism and communication field is no exception. The development of high technologies such as NLP or machine learning has modified professional routines, work profiles, and business models. Fact-checking initiatives, which have long battled disinformation, now face a complex context where misleading content grows faster than ever. In this situation, artificial intelligence, or AI, can be a double-edged sword. On the one side, AI-generated content can be created faster than regular content; therefore, there is a huge volume of data to be analysed by fact-checkers. Furthermore, NLP software is not always as reliable as it might be expected. It tends to ‘hallucinate’, creating more misleading content and hoaxes. On the other hand, AI can be a helpful tool in fighting disinformation. This paper analyses 10 independent international fact-checking initiatives through case analysis and questionnaires with fact-checkers. Results show that these sites use AI during different stages of their routines, accelerating processes, simplifying tasks and improving the accuracy of fact-checking results. AI integration shows some risks related to economic restrictions, platform limitations, media distrust, and inequity between countries. To conclude, this research also demonstrates that journalists are still in the loop about fact-checking sites, but more tech profiles and better skills are required.

Aproximación cuantitativa a la desinformación relacionada con la pandemia de la Covid-19 en Latinoamérica y España, entre el 1 enero 2020 y el 30 junio 2020. Mediante análisis de contenido (N=1679) aplicado a artículos de verificación publicados por plataformas de comprobación de datos acreditadas por la IFCN, se cuantifican los resultados de las verificaciones, el medio de difusión de los bulos, los formatos empleados y los principales ejes temáticos. El estudio muestra que el mayor número de verificaciones se realizaron en Brasil y España, que la mayor parte de los bulos se distribuyeron en formato texto y que el medio de difusión más usado fueron las redes sociales, principalmente Facebook en Latinoamérica y WhatsApp en España. En cuanto a temáticas, además de generar un gran número de desinformación sobre salud, la pandemia ha propiciado la difusión de numerosos contenidos falsos en torno a política.
