National AI Misinformation Hackathon

National AI misinformation hackathons are intensive, collaborative events focused on developing and deploying AI-powered tools to combat the spread of online falsehoods. Current research emphasizes leveraging large language models (LLMs) and other machine learning techniques for tasks such as lateral reading support, detecting malicious online activity (e.g., terrorism financing), and improving the accuracy of information retrieval. These hackathons serve as valuable platforms for both advancing AI research in this critical area and fostering practical applications to enhance information credibility and online safety.
