KonCheck - Combating misinformation using AI
False information jeopardises the democratic formation of opinion. Our new research project uses AI to tackle the problem.
![KonCheck Header Image An image representing the research project "KonCheck". Six hands of various skin colors and with various clothes are stretched upwards, while plus signs float around them. An arrow that gets wider from left to right, each time it passes a new hand, points to a legal document held up by a hand. A green checkmark above the document symbolizes the public agreement with the document and the validity of the information contained within.](/storages/ihri-reha/_processed_/9/9/csm__c_Daimler_und_Benz_Stiftung_elenabsl_1d51de852a.jpg)
