Combining natural intelligence with artificial intelligence
We combine artificial and natural intelligence in order to facilitate rapid identification of discrepancies. To gain the upper hand in opinion-forming, we have three pillars of assistance
- Trust Score - the most advanced investigative methods based on AI
- Community Score - where technology reaches its limits, human intuition and sensitivity comes into play
- Bias Score - News has an aftertaste - we'll tell you which one
With our pioneering real-time AI detection of fake news and our unique user-based rating system, we put society back in control when it comes to staying informed and forming an opinion.
trust Score
A guide for the news landscape
The technology behind CAUSE employs a multifaceted approach to scrutinize every aspect of a news article. It examines the text, author credibility, images, storyline, and historical context.
The system goes beyond surface-level analysis by implementing advanced techniques such as pixel anomaly detection in images and deep fake identification and even a lie detection, ensuring the authenticity of visual content.
community Score
The power of natural intelligence
This system compares the AI-calculated score with a Natural Intelligence (NI) score, derived from community input.
By integrating AI capabilities with human judgment, we aim to quickly identify discrepancies between machine and human evaluations.
This approach not only enhances the accuracy of news assessment but also fosters meaningful discussions when differences arise.
