Application of the Fake News Detection Model for Non-Governmental Organizations (NGOs) 

 

Use Case: Detection of Misinformation Related to Social Impact Issues such as Climate Change, Human Rights, or Public Health 

 

 

Market: NGOs, international organizations, and development agencies. 

 

In critical issues such as climate change, human rights, and public health, misinformation can negatively influence public opinion and affect the impact of awareness and social action campaigns. Our fake news detection module, based on Advanced LLM, is designed to identify and stop the spread of false news in real-time, protecting the accuracy of facts on sensitive issues and ensuring that decisions are based on reliable information. 

 

 

How It Works: 

 

  1. Monitoring of Media and Social Networks: The system continuously monitors media outlets, social media platforms, and digital sources discussing topics related to climate change, human rights, or public health. It processes texts, videos (converted to audio), and audios to detect signs of misinformation.
  2. Voice Differentiation in Multimedia Content: If false information is spread through interviews or videos with multiple participants, the system can differentiate voices, allowing for precise identification of who is disseminating misinformation and its origin.
  3. Fake News Detection: Using Advanced LLM, the system analyzes content to detect inconsistencies, manipulations, or false information related to sensitive social issues. It compares data with reliable sources and classifies information as true or potentially false.
  4. Automated Alerts and Response: Once misinformation is detected, the system issues automatic alerts for NGOs and international organizations to take immediate action, such as issuing corrections or countering false information with verified data.
  5. Reports and Strategic Analysis: The system generates detailed reports that include the origin of misinformation and the trend of its spread, allowing NGOs to adjust their awareness and communication campaigns to maximize positive impact.

Advantages of the Model for NGOs and International Organizations: 

 

– Protection of Critical Issues: The system protects the accuracy of information on sensitive topics such as climate change, human rights, and public health, preventing misinformation from affecting public perception and informed decision-making.
