Description:
The internet offers many benefits to all travelers, but it also has a darker side. With the rise of artificial intelligence and the popularity of Adobe Photoshop, misinformation is now very common, leading to fake image editing.
The search engine giant Google has also found an answer to this problem.
During the Reality 10 World Conference, Google introduced a new feature that allows users to upload images and determine if they have already been analyzed by Reality Checker. This feature is especially useful when combating misleading content, as it allows users to identify whether an image has been manipulated or not.
Avneesh Sud, software engineer at Google Research said:
Google supports this effort by developing tools and resources to help people evaluate information online. We are dedicated to helping people identify online misinformation and supporting fact-checking and those who have been doing it for a long time.
What makes this new feature even more compelling is that in addition to providing users with information about an image"s credibility, Google also provides textual details and timelines associated with the image to help reviewers. This feature allows users to better understand images and related topics and gain deeper insights.
However, the new Fact Check Explorer is still currently in beta and we are working to make it available to users across industries. Through the Global Fact-Checking Fund, Google also supports more than 35 fact-checking organizations in 45 countries.
The ultimate goal is simple: to effectively combat misinformation. We hope that these joint efforts will reduce misinformation in the future.
