Microsoft Working On AI To Remove Fake News
“We are already working on a couple of such AI-powered initiatives towards Bing and Linkedin. We are also trying to forge tie-ups with trusted news sources and then indicate to users what is the source of the news and letting them make their own decisions,” Heiner told IANS at the company’s sprawling, 500-acre campus here. The main challenge, according to him, are concerns regarding censorship and defining what is fake news.
A very high percentage of people get news from Facebook and YouTube and both these major platforms are having troubles with handling fake news.
There are six core concepts to achieving “trustworthy AI”. AI-based systems need to treat everyone fairly, must be safe, protect privacy and security, include everyone and need to be transparent as algorithms can be mysterious at times.
“AI is well suited to us as we build software to improve lives. The technology can do wonders in voice, speech recognition and translation solutions. Aided by AI, humans can reduce errors to a great extent — almost negligible — be it in healthcare or any other field,” Heiner noted.
