Information technology is needed to put a stop to these undesirable developments. With intelligent algorithms and refined data analysis, fakes must be detected more quickly in the future and their spread prevented. However, in order to meaningfully recognize and filter fakes by means of artificial intelligence, it must be possible to distinguish fakes from facts, facts from fictions, and fictions from fakes. This book therefore also asks questions about the distinctions of fake, factual and fictional. The underlying theories of truth are discussed, and practical-technical ways of differentiating truth from falsity are outlined. By taking into account the fictional as well as the assumption that information-technical advancements can benefit from humanities knowledge, the authors hope that content-related, technical and methodological challenges of the present and future can be met.Fake newsInformation societySocial aspectsTruthfulness and falsehoodFake news.Information societySocial aspects.Truthfulness and falsehood.070.43Klimczak Peter1982-Zoglauer ThomasMiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK996546826803316Truth and fake in the post-factual digital age3552197UNISA
