But NewsGuard COO Matt Skibinski offers a solution: NewsGuard AI, a news-focused chatbot designed from the ground-up to draw language from sources rated for reliability cross-referenced against a continuously updated database of false claims.  It’s a powerful tool that puts AI to good use, particularly in the context of a mid-term election awash with disinformation from both domestic and international sources. Hosts Jim Ludes and Mark Jacobson also discuss the spate of bomb-threats targeting European airlines and initial assessments of foreign malign influence in the mid-term elections.
