Effective transparency is inevitable for AI in intelligent decision support
As AI-powered fact-checkers become more common in newsrooms and social media platforms, the question is no longer if we should use them—but how. A new study from researchers at BIFOLD and the Karlsruhe Institute of Technology (KIT) reveals that the secret to trustworthy AI-supported fact-checking may lie not just in what they say, but how they explain themselves.
