Google, the largest search engine in the world, also has a solution for many problem currently. The internet may have many positive aspects, but it also has many negative ones. These days, it’s easy to find false information online, thanks to tools like Adobe Photoshop and the proliferation of artificial intelligence.
Google debuted a new feature at the Global Fact 10 conference that checks uploaded photographs against a database of fact-checked results. Having the ability to tell if a picture has been modified is a powerful tool in the fight against false or misleading information.
According to Google Research Software Engineer Avneesh Sud
Google is proud to be a part of this movement by creating resources to help consumers evaluate content on the web. We are committed to the long-term goal of assisting the public in recognizing online misinformation and supporting fact-checking and those who do it.
This new tool is noteworthy since Google is not only presenting people with information about an image’s legitimacy, but also adding additional contextual elements and timeframes pertinent to the image to help fact-checkers. The image and the themes related with it can be understood better thanks to this function.
The tech giant is attempting to make the new Fact Check Explorer available to users across a variety of businesses, but for the time being, it is still in beta. Through the Global Fact Check Fund, Google is also supporting over 35 fact-checking organizations in 45 different countries.
The end goal is simple: to effectively battle false information. We anticipate that the spread of false information will decrease as a result of our combined efforts.
