Individuals who disseminate rumours on social media platforms like Facebook, Instagram, and X are now facing consequences. An AI-driven monitoring system is being introduced to curb the spread of false information on these platforms. This system aims to track and identify fake content circulating across social media and digital channels. Bangalore Police are gearing up to implement an AI-based system designed to monitor social media and digital platforms. According to a report from Money Control, this advanced platform will focus on detecting any misleading or inaccurate information online, requiring just a single keyword to initiate the search. With the help of AI, it will become easier to determine the validity of content shared on social media.
A senior officer from the Bangalore Police has confirmed that the tender for this AI system has been issued. The system will specifically target misinformation based on users, entities, brands, organisations, or topics of interest. Being an AI-powered solution, it will also identify any objectionable language or terms used in social media communications, enabling the filtration of incorrect information.
Comprehensive analysis of Social Media
This AI tool will facilitate automated data collection, tapping into both Indian and global digital sources. It will analyze content from popular platforms in India, such as X, Facebook, and Instagram, as well as video-sharing sites like TikTok, YouTube, and Vimeo.
Additionally, the tool will examine the content from news media and public community boards available in the public domain. Reports suggest that this advanced AI tool will possess capabilities for topic identification and profiling of content creators, further enhancing its monitoring potential.
Meanwhile, the Telecom Regulatory Authority of India (TRAI) shared its suggestions on Friday about how much satellite internet service providers should pay for using radio waves, known as spectrum. They proposed that companies, such as Elon Musk's Starlink, should pay 4 percent of their yearly earnings. Additionally, for services offered in city areas, there would be an extra charge of Rs 500 for each customer every year. However, there won't be any extra fees for services provided in rural areas.
