So then, the question is, how AI may support end-users in the task of detecting suspicious accounts? Thus, it is clear that Artificial Intelligence (AI) has a crucial role in this topic in order to support these platforms in order to automatically notify or restrict the access to those accounts that look suspicious according to a certain set of descriptors or features.Īs an example of this, in 2019, Twitter had to remove more than 26 thousand of accounts since they were suspicious of spreading misinformation and/or non-appropriate content. In order to help tackle this issue, Fandango’s consortium partner Visual telecommunications applications research group ( GATV) at Universidad Politécnica de Madrid is currently working on a model to accurately predict whether a Twitter account is bot or not.ĭavid Martín Gutiérrez, Machine/Deep Learning Researcher at GATV, shares this research:ĭuring the last years, the exponential growth of spreading misinformation throughout the social media platforms such as Twitter, Facebook or Instagram have fostered applied research in order to detect and consequently prevent the intrusion of these kind of content in such networks.
“Some of the misleading information, massively spread via fake social media accounts including ‘bots’ that run automated tasks on the internet and social media, can potentially be very harmful to you and your loved ones”. “Online bots are spreading disinformation on the coronavirus crisis across Europe”, the European Comissin alerts.
