Google Joins Hands With News Publishers To Curb Deepfakes

Google has partnered with news publishers and fact-checkers in India to combat the spread of misinformation, including deepfakes, ahead of the country's upcoming elections. The collaboration, known as 'Shakti, India Election Fact-Checking Collective', will create a platform for independent fact-checkers and Indian language publishers to collaborate and share fact checks, research resources, and alerts regarding viral misinformation and deepfakes. The project also aims to offer training in fact-checking methodologies, deepfake detection, and the use of Google tools for verification processes. This initiative aligns with Google's ongoing efforts to combat misinformation and support journalism through various initiatives and funding programs.
