Real-time Fact Checking Services

Argumentation Community Group,
ARGTHRY,

An interesting technology to consider is real-time fact-checking.

Journalists, debate moderators, their support staffs, and audience members can, today, make use of Web search engines to obtain information pertinent to what orators are saying. In the near future, people might be able to type or speak into their computers to obtain real-time fact-checking information.

With respect to televised debates, real-time fact-checking content could be provided on screen seconds after orators’ utterances. With but a brief delay in video feeds, real-time fact-checking content could appear on screen simultaneous to orators’ utterances. In the near future, there could be multiple real-time fact-checking services available and multiple services could be collated and assembled for the variety of on-screen content under discussion.

Argumentation technologists can envision real-time fact-checking services which can provide materials which support and materials which argue against provided claims.

Fact-checking technologies have a broader utility than the scenarios of journalism and debate moderation. People could use real-time fact-checking services in their work and organizational contexts, e.g. when working on documents, presentations and slideshows.

On an artificial intelligence note, with real-time fact-checking technologies and related services, software developers could easily access these services for their dialogue systems, Q&A systems and intelligent tutoring systems.
