New Frontiers in Fighting Misinformation

Despite extensive research and development of tools and technologies for misinformation tracking and detection, we often find ourselves largely on the losing side of the battle against misinformation. In an era where misinformation poses a substantial threat to public discourse, trust in information sources, and societal and political stability, it is imperative that we regularly revisit and reorient our work strategies. While we have made significant strides in understanding how and why misinformation spreads, we must now broaden our focus and explore how technology can help realise new approaches to address this complex challenge more efficiently.
