CORONA - QURATOR - PANQURA - a technology platform for more information transparency in times of crisis; subproject 5: AI technologies for personalized curation of online articles to ensure information transparency in times of crisis.

The COVID 19 crisis shows that transparency and objectivity are the keys to overcoming a pandemic that poses unprecedented challenges to governments and societies worldwide. This is particularly true for European democracies, which are based on the dignity and freedom of the individual. Only well-informed citizens can bear the necessary compromises in democratic processes, which are demanded of the individual in times of crisis. At the same time, the digital flood of information and the confusion of sources pose challenges for every individual. The targeted dissemination of false information or fraudulent offers further complicates the situation. The aim of the joint project is to meet this particular challenge with a technology platform for more information transparency. The platform provides AI-based tools for researching and evaluating pandemic-related information. They contribute to making reliable knowledge and serious information offers visible in a transparent form. The DFKI subproject will deal with the automatic analysis of online contributions, the presentation of results and the personalization of information access.
