Meta, the parent company of Facebook, has developed the world’s first artificial intelligence (AI) model that’s capable of automatically verifying hundreds of thousands of citations at once, a feature the firm says could help make entries on Wikipedia “more accurate.”
Researchers designed the AI in a way that it can find appropriate sources for a claim from among millions of web pages, according to a Meta blog post on July 11. Algorithms were fed with 4 million claims from Wikipedia, which taught them to zero in on a single source from the vast pool of web pages to validate every single statement.
