Abstract

Big Data and artificial intelligence are being harnessed to fight disinformation, which encompasses all possible aspects of false, inaccurate or misleading content, projected, presented and promoted to cause harm. To tackle this phenomenon, organisations, entities, governments and the media are launching different initiatives. Many of them make use of Big Data and artificial intelligence (AI) which, with the development of algorithms, design and implement bots and platforms whose aim is to put an end to intentionally misleading information. This essay offers an overview and a tour of some of the projects that the European Union has launched based on Big Data, data science and artificial intelligence to disarm disinformation and hoaxes, such as the FactCheckEU or FANDANGO projects. To this end, a qualitative documentary bibliographic study has been applied to propose a series of measures that can limit the dissemination of false information and to conclude that the European Union currently faces the great challenge of combating disinformation and is dedicating a significant part of its resources to identifying the problem and proposing solutions.
