The Global Fact-Checking Chatbot (GFC) is a pioneering initiative led by members of the International Fact-Checking Network and close allies. It aims to become a cross-language, user-friendly AI platform that empowers fact-checkers - and eventually all citizens - worldwide to verify the accuracy of information with only a few clicks, whether on smartphones or desktops. The tool is envisaged to be especially effective during elections, public health crises, regional conflicts, and surges of misinformation on social media.
