FactCheck AI

Full Fact AI is the automated fact-checking technology developed by Full Fact, the UK's leading independent fact-checking organization, designed to help journalists, researchers, and policy-makers detect repeated false claims in public discourse faster and more comprehensively than manual fact-checking allows. The AI system monitors live broadcasts, political speeches, and online content to detect claims that have previously been fact-checked, alerting users when a known false claim is being repeated so it can be challenged quickly before wider spread. Full Fact's claim matching AI compares new statements against a database of previously verified claims, identifying semantic matches even when the exact wording differs. The organization has open-sourced components of its fact-checking technology to enable other fact-checking organizations globally to build on its work. Full Fact AI represents an approach to automated fact-checking grounded in transparency and journalistic accountability rather than opaque commercial AI systems.
