Rethinking Anti-Misinformation AI

This paper takes a position on how anti-misinformation AI works should be developed for the online misinformation context. We observe that the current literature is dominated by works that produce more information for users to process and that this function faces various challenges in bringing meaningful effects to reality. We use anti-misinformation insights from other domains to suggest a redirection of the existing line of work and identify two opportunities AI can facilitate exploring.
