Das German-Austrian Digital Media Observatory (GADMO), der größte Zusammenschluss von #Faktencheck-Organisationen und Forschungsteams in Deutschland und Österreich, bündelt Kräfte, um Falschinformationen entgegenzuwirken und den öffentlichen Diskurs zu stärken. Sie bieten eine zentrale Plattform für deutschsprachige Faktenchecks. Unter der Koordination von Lamarr-Partner Technische Universität Dortmund arbeiten Partner wie die dpa, AFP, APA, CORRECTIV sowie Forschende aus Kommunikations- und Datenwissenschaft zusammen. Ein wichtiger Beitrag kommt dabei von Lamarr-PI Jörg Rahnenführer, Professor an der Fakultät #Statistik der TU Dortmund. Mit seiner Expertise in der Analyse großer Textsammlungen – etwa durch Topic Modelling – unterstützt er als seit der Gründung von GADMO 2015 die Erforschung von Verbreitungsmustern und thematischen Trends bei #Desinformation. 🧐 𝗪𝗶𝗲 𝗚𝗔𝗗𝗠𝗢 𝗵𝗶𝗹𝗳𝘁: 👉 Zentrale Plattform für deutschsprachige Faktenchecks 👉 Wissenschaftliche Analyse von Desinformationskampagnen mit modernster KI 👉 Förderung von Medienkompetenz durch Workshops und Materialien 👉 Beobachtung digitaler Plattformen im Umgang mit Falschinformationen 𝗕𝗲𝘀𝗼𝗻𝗱𝗲𝗿𝘀 𝗶𝗺 𝗪𝗮𝗵𝗹𝗸𝗮𝗺𝗽𝗳 𝗯𝗶𝗲𝘁𝗲𝘁 𝗚𝗔𝗗𝗠𝗢 𝘂𝗺𝗳𝗮𝘀𝘀𝗲𝗻𝗱𝗲 𝗙𝗮𝗸𝘁𝗲𝗻𝗰𝗵𝗲𝗰𝗸𝘀 𝘇𝘂 𝗧𝗵𝗲𝗺𝗲𝗻: ⚠️ manipulierten Bildern oder Videos im Kontext des Wahlkampfs ⚠️ irreführende Aussagen über politische Programme oder Kandidierende Zur Bundestagswahl gibt es einen eigenen Newsletter, der wöchentlich über sämtliche Faktenchecks informiert.

🌍🤖𝗔𝗜 𝗶𝘀 𝗮 𝗚𝗮𝗺𝗲-𝗖𝗵𝗮𝗻𝗴𝗲𝗿 𝗳𝗼𝗿 𝗘𝘂𝗿𝗼𝗽𝗲’𝘀 𝗙𝘂𝘁𝘂𝗿𝗲! On February 10 and 11, the #AIActionSummit in Paris brought together some of the brightest minds and key decision-makers from politics, business, and research. Lamarr Institutes co-Director Stefan Wrobel summed up the event perfectly: "The AI Summit made it clear that artificial intelligence is going to be a game-changer for Europe's future. If we can get politics, business, and research to work together, we can boost investment and create a ton of new opportunities. Germany should take a page out of Paris's book and make artificial intelligence a top priority. We've got the technology; now we need to focus on scaling up quickly, creating sustainable business models, and digital sovereignty." Just two weeks ago, 37 leading companies and research institutions from Germany and France, including our partner Fraunhofer IAIS, published an #ActionPaper. This document not only emphasizes the urgent need for action but also provides concrete recommendations for policymakers to accelerate progress in AI development across Europe. Paris has shown what’s possible when ambition meets collaboration – now it’s time for all of us to take action! 🇪🇺🤝 #ArtificialIntelligence #Innovation #EuropeAI #Collaboration

🗳️ 𝗕𝘂𝗻𝗱𝗲𝘀𝘁𝗮𝗴𝘀𝘄𝗮𝗵𝗹 2025: 𝗙𝗮𝗸𝗲 𝗡𝗲𝘄𝘀 𝗶𝗺 𝗪𝗮𝗵𝗹𝗸𝗮𝗺𝗽𝗳 – 𝘄𝗶𝗲 𝗸𝗮𝗻𝗻 𝗞𝗜 𝗵𝗲𝗹𝗳𝗲𝗻? Im Superwahljahr 2024 waren Fake News rund um politische Wahlen allgegenwärtig – insbesondere bei der US-Wahl zwischen Kamala Harris und Donald Trump. Die Verbreitung von Desinformation erreichte dort laut 𝘕𝘦𝘸 𝘠𝘰𝘳𝘬 𝘛𝘪𝘮𝘦𝘴 einen neuen Höchststand. Mit Blick auf die bevorstehende Bundestagswahl am 23. Februar 2025 wird deutlich: Auch hier müssen wir uns mit gezielter Manipulation und Falschinformationen auseinandersetzen. Doch KI kann nicht nur zur Erstellung von Fake News genutzt werden – sie hilft auch dabei, sie zu entlarven. Unser Transfer-Partner KI.NRW stellt in einem aktuellen Blogbeitrag drei innovative KI-Projekte aus NRW vor, die Journalist*innen bei der Erkennung von Desinformation unterstützen. Von Crowdsourcing-gestützten Faktenchecks über KI-basierte Geolokalisierung bis hin zu Fake-News-Detektion in sozialen Medien – diese Technologien leisten einen wichtigen Beitrag zur Transparenz und Wahrheitsfindung. 🔗 𝗠𝗲𝗵𝗿 𝗱𝗮𝘇𝘂 𝗶𝗺 𝗕𝗹𝗼𝗴: https://lnkd.in/exsynN2A #KIgegenFakeNews #AIforTrust #Bundestagswahl2025 #Desinformation #Faktencheck © Clarote & AI4Media / Better Images of AI / Power/Profit / CC-BY 4.0
