AI-Powered Fact-Check Assistant for Social Media and Search Platforms

[Manumartin]

I propose integrating a built-in AI-powered Fact-Check Assistant into social media and search platforms. Users would be able to type or highlight a statement (e.g., “Does cooking in a pressure cooker destroy nutrients?”), and the assistant would then analyze peer-reviewed journals, official health organizations, and reputable academic databases to generate a concise, evidence-based summary. The system must exclude low-quality sources, casual blogs, or unverified content. Instead, it will deliver answers that meet the highest standards of scientific credibility.

Key features include:

1. A clear classification of the claim (True / False / Inconclusive) in crisp
2. A breakdown of key facts and evidence-based points related to the query
3. Visual aids such as mini graphs, plots, or animations showing the proportion of studies supporting vs. rejecting the claim
4. Direct links to all cited sources for full transparency and user verification

This tool would significantly improve digital literacy by reducing the spread of misinformation and empowering users with reliable, real-time scientific insights.
