Check (by Meedan)

Check, developed by the non-profit Meedan, is an open-source software platform designed to help newsrooms and civil society organizations fight misinformation. The platform uses AI to automate the collection, triage, and verification of claims shared on social media and messaging apps like WhatsApp. By utilizing computer vision and natural language processing, Check helps fact-checkers quickly identify repeat claims and organize their verification workflow efficiently. It is a critical tool for maintaining information integrity during elections, public health crises, and humanitarian emergencies, fostering a more equitable and inclusive digital environment through verified information.
