19 Feb 2022 | Can you help train up our fact checking AI?

Last autumn, thousands of incredible supporters took part in our "Claim Challenge", helping improve our Artificial Intelligence (AI) technology that helps human fact checkers spot false claims faster.  

Now, we're calling on your help once more. 

Can you take part in our next challenge, and help train our AI to better interpret language and numbers?

Answering 10 questions will make a huge difference. Answering 100 will get you a 'Super Trainer' badge.

Yes! Challenge accepted

Your mission is simple, but not easy:

Just like teaching a baby how to talk, our AI tool needs to take in lots of examples of stats and sentences so that it learn how to verify thousands of statements in our politicians and media.

That requires the help of lots of humans to do it.

Enter YOU stage left….

You’ll be presented with a statement. Then you’ll be asked a question about what that statement means. All you need to do is answer ‘yes’ or ‘no’, or if you’re unsure, press ‘skip’.

Remember: we’re trying to train our technology to think like a human, so there are no right answers here. ‘no’ is just as important as ‘yes’.

To get the tech working to the best level it can be, we need 250,000 questions answered.

And the more questions you answer, the closer you'll get to 'Super Trainer' status.

So Friend, are you ready to train up world-leading technology that will help fact checkers from all over the world track down bad information?

Absolutely, all systems go
