UC Berkeley researchers develop new AI algorithm that can identify fake news

UC Berkeley researchers have developed a new AI algorithm that can identify fake news with 99% accuracy. The algorithm, which was published in the journal Nature Machine Intelligence, uses a combination of natural language processing and machine learning to analyze the text of news articles and identify patterns that are indicative of fake news. The algorithm is able to identify fake news even when it is written by humans, and it is also able to adapt to new types of fake news as they emerge.
