DALIL

2023-24 Scale-up project

Project presentation

DALIL is an e-platform that promotes the use of community-driven fact-checked content among the public. Leveraging AI, it streamlines the fact-checking process, saving critical time in the fight against disinformation. DALIL scrapes online content, rapidly identifies and clusters trending topics, gathers a variety of open-source verification tools, and facilitates cross-platform publishing. It also integrates DALIL Check, an AI-powered discourse analysis tool that highlights subjective speech and rhetorical devices used to influence readers. DALIL will soon add features that open avenues for collaboration and resource sharing between fact-checkers. Few existing content moderation tools can process Arabic; DALIL fills this gap. With European Union funding, DALIL is being rolled out across Middle East and North Africa, with potential for global scalability.
