Sfatare la disinformazione e la disinformazione richiede una collaborazione interdisciplinare e progressi in molteplici settori, tra cui il giornalismo, gli studi di comunicazione, il diritto e le politiche pubbliche, la psicologia e le scienze politiche. La tecnologia informatica svolge un ruolo cruciale in questo senso. Negli ultimi anni si è assistito ad una crescita sostanziale degli sforzi per il controllo dei fatti computazionale, di cui molti sono basati sui dati, alimentati dall’IA, e includono gli esseri umani nel ciclo.
