The Centre for Journalism and Innovation Development (CJID) has moved to enhance efficient and accurate fact-checking in journalism through innovative technology.
The centre which will be officially launching two innovative tools, the Dubawa Audio Platform and Chatbot in its Journalism, Digital Tech and Artificial Intelligence (AI) Conference said it was its contribution to fight misinformation in the world.
It is important to note that, the Journalism, Digital Tech and AI Conference will be held on May 27 and 28 in Abuja, to discuss how rapid advancements in technology and AI are reshaping the way news and information are told and consumed.
The conference which would be a gathering of journalists, media stakeholders, technologists and civil society organisations would have keynote addresses, panel discussions, case studies, and interactive sessions.
It aims at facilitating dialogue, collaboration, and knowledge-sharing on strategies for navigating digital disruption, harnessing the power of AI, and ensuring the continued vitality of the media ecosystem.
