The Vera.ai project, along with its partners, is dedicated to advancing trustworthy AI solutions in the fight against disinformation. Building on the foundation laid by the previous WeVerify project, one of our key objectives is to enhance and expand upon this critical work.

A highlight of our efforts includes further developing the widely-used among journalists InVID-WeVerify verification plug-in. This popular browser extension combines a range of verification and analysis features into a single, comprehensive platform. In addition to enhancing InVID-WeVerify, the vera.ai project is also integrating several new solutions into existing services like the collaborative verification platform Truly Media.

During the sessions, the vera.ai team will showcase the AI features of both Truly Media and InVID-WeVerify. Christos Gavalas will present the AI capabilities of Truly Media, including a deepfake image of Donald Trump, an analysis of a deepfake video featuring Joe Biden, as well as automated fact-checking report generation. Kamila Koronska will demonstrate the verification functionalities available to media professionals through InVID-WeVerify plugin.
