Online tools are fueling an arms race between the purveyors of disinformation and those who defend against it. (Credit: Skorzewiak / Bigstock.com)Artificial intelligence is fueling an arms race between the purveyors of disinformation and those who are fighting it in this year’s high-stakes political campaign, but the best tool to defend against fake news is honest-to-goodness human intelligence.That’s how two expert observers size up the escalating information war in the latest episode of the Fiction Science podcast.“As a longtime AI researcher, I’ve become a huge fan of human intelligence,” says Oren Etzioni, the founder of Seattle-based TrueMedia.org, which uses AI to distinguish between genuine and faked imagery. “So, the first, second and third defense has to be media literacy and appropriate skepticism about what you see.”Annalee Newitz, the author of “Stories Are Weapons: Psychological Warfare and the American Mind,” agrees that humans are “the most important part of the loop” in the fight against disinformation.“We need technical tools. We need things like TrueMedia. We need access to APIs for social media platforms so that researchers can provide tools like TrueMedia for text and for posts that are mostly text-based,” Newitz says. “But ultimately, it is about people being wary of what they read that’s passed to them by any platform that they’re on, even if it’s something they hear from their neighbors.”People have been hearing a lot of false narratives lately

SEATTLE--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Hiya, the global leader in voice security, announces Hiya Registration, a free solution for businesses which ensures that customer-friendly calls — which respect both consumer preferences and applicable laws — are delivered without spam or nuisance labeling or blocking on mobile networks across the globe. Hiya Registration is part of the new Hiya Business Suite, a collection of voice performance and security solutions for businesses of any size. With the growth of phone scams and robocalls, more and more network providers are turning to spam analytics providers to flag and block calls to protect their customers. Because the cost to consumers is so high — in 2022, the average amount lost to every victim of phone fraud was $431 in the US and $366 globally — carriers must be aggressive against bad actors to protect consumers, which puts legitimate businesses at risk of being labeled as spam or nuisance. Phone number registration gives these businesses a way to identify themselves as legitimate on mobile networks where spam and nuisance calls are labeled, which helps address spam labeling concerns. Hundreds of thousands of businesses have already registered their numbers through Hiya, and more are registering across the globe as consumer spam protections become widespread
