SINGAPORE: With half-truths and misinformation spreading “more quickly” than facts, the spectre of online falsehoods will only become “more challenging” to tackle given the rise of artificial intelligence , said Deputy Prime Minister Lawrence Wong on Tuesday .
“We should also harness technology to help us in this work. And I’m glad that CNA is doing just that, by developing AI interactive bots for journalists to fact-check and enhancing the accuracy and effectiveness of your detection tools,” said Mr Wong at the event, during which CNA announced plans to ramp up growth in regional and international markets.
News outlets must compete for advertising revenues with major companies such as Google and parent company of Facebook, Meta, which are"very good" at audience targeting. They also have to compete for attention with “everything ranging from Netflix to TikTok”. He shared that he was involved in some of these efforts during his time with the Ministry of Communications and Information, and can see the “impact of these changes".
