Media forensic tools are being developed at AIT to detect disinformation campaigns on the Internet. Within the framework of projects of the security research funding program KIRAS, which is financed by the Federal Ministry of Finance, the experts are working on a media forensic software platform that enables users, e.g. media companies or authorities, to assess the credibility of text, image, video or audio material on the Internet. Artificial intelligence (AI) is used in the process. The project focuses in particular on politically motivated disinformation, as this ultimately threatens democracy and weakens the population's trust in political and state institutions. In addition, AI-based tools are being developed that enable the automatic detection of contexts based on text similarity and semantic analysis to track down hate speech, extremism or propaganda, for example.
