New Delhi, February 19: The Misinformation Combat Alliance (MCA) on Monday said that it has collaborated with Meta (formerly Facebook) to launch a dedicated fact-checking helpline on WhatsApp in India in an effort to combat media generated using artificial intelligence (AI). The helpline will be available for the public to use in March this year.
The initiative will allow MCA and its associated network to address viral misinformation -- particularly deepfakes. The MCA will set up a central 슬롯사이트˜Deepfake Analysis Unit슬롯사이트™ (DAU) to manage all inbound messages they receive on the WhatsApp helpline.슬롯 머신 사이트 추천Tizen OS: OEM Specialist 슬롯사이트˜Veira Group슬롯사이트™ and Samsung Partner To Introduce Its 슬롯사이트˜Tizen OS슬롯사이트™ in Its TV Range.
"The Deepfakes Analysis Unit will serve as a critical and timely intervention to arrest the spread of AI-enabled disinformation among social media and internet users in India," Bharat Gupta, President, Misinformation Combat Alliance, said in a statement. "The initiative will see IFCN signatory fact-checkers, journalists, civic tech professionals, research labs and forensic experts come together, with Meta's support," he added.
People will be able to report deepfakes by forwarding them to the WhatsApp chatbot, which will provide multilingual support in English and three regional languages -- Hindi, Tamil, and Telugu. "Our collaboration with MCA to launch a WhatsApp helpline dedicated to debunking deepfakes that can materially deceive people is consistent with our pledge under the Tech Accord to Combat Deceptive Use of AI in 2024 Elections," said Shivnath Thukral, Director, Public Policy India, Meta.슬롯 머신 사이트 추천Nothing CEO Carl Pei Adds 슬롯사이트˜Bhai슬롯사이트™ After His and Company슬롯사이트™s Name, Suggests Tesla CEO Elon Musk To Change His Name to 슬롯사이트˜Elon Bhai슬롯사이트™ To Build Tesla Factory in India.
