• How can we cope with the increasingly challenging task of checking the accuracy of content in today’s saturated infosphere? Help is at hand from Factiverse, a Norwegian university spinoff that has broken new ground with a patented algorithm to do just that. The start-up’s co-founder Maria Amelie explains how it works.
• The tool aimed at companies, journalists and financial analysts makes use of semantic analysis and search engines to take much of the labour out of verifying factual claims.
• Trained on high-quality data and self-hostable, the Factiverse has been designed to avoid generative bias and ensure high levels of privacy. It also offers an API for trouble-free content management system (CMS) integration.
