Description

Compiled within the scope of the SmartVote project, this is a database of AI initiatives aimed at combating disinformation in Europe and abroad (n=125). This database is thouroughly analysed in the inaugural report of the same project, titled An Iberian Outlook: Report on Social Media Disinformation in Spanish, Portuguese and EU elections and Detection tools, available here.

In this inaugural report for the we establish the groundwork for the projects’ intervention, aiming to provide access, knowledge and skills that allow for technology to enable autonomy and social participation in wider society. We specifically aim to tackle the issue of disinformation and its impact during electoral processes and referendums as a threat to democracy, and the role of news and journalism and technology in the process. On the technology side we will create technological resources which allow for the identification and mitigation of disinformation. 

Despite the aim to stimulate positive impacts in wider society, the project will directly work with young people aged 18 to 25 in Spain and Portugal. The Iberian dimension of the project implies an added level of complexity in terms of our intervention, as despite the historical familiarity both countries are quite different at a social, territorial, political and in terms of their media ecosystem and relationship with news and journalism.
