Preparations are underway to launch a new AI-based surveillance tool aimed at people who share fake photos, videos and posts on social media platforms. This tool tracks rumor-spreading content and takes appropriate action.
Individuals spreading rumors on social media platforms such as Facebook, Instagram and X are currently facing consequences. AI-driven surveillance systems have been introduced to prevent the spread of misinformation on these platforms. The system aims to track and identify fake content circulating across social media and digital channels. The Bangalore Police are preparing to implement AI-based systems designed to monitor social media and digital platforms. According to a report from Money Control, this advanced platform focuses on detecting misleading or inaccurate information online, requiring only a single keyword to start a search. With the help of AI, it becomes easier to determine the validity of content shared on social media.
Senior officers of the Bangalore Police have confirmed that a bid for this AI system has been issued. This system targets misinformation in particular based on users, entities, brands, organizations, or topics of interest. Because it is an AI-powered solution, it also identifies unwanted languages or terms used in social media communication, allowing for the filtration of misinformation.
Comprehensive Social Media Analysis
This AI tool will facilitate automated data collection and leverage both Indian and global digital sources. Analyze content from popular Indian platforms such as X, Facebook and Instagram, as well as video sharing sites such as Tiktok, YouTube and Vimeo.
Additionally, the tool examines the content of news media and public community boards available in the public domain. The report suggests that this advanced AI tool has the ability to identify and profiling topics for content creators, further increasing the likelihood of monitoring it.
Meanwhile, India’s Communications Regulator (TRAI) shared a proposal on Friday on how much satellite internet service providers should pay for the use of radio waves known as Spectrum. They suggested that companies such as Elon Musk’s Starlink should pay 4% of their annual revenue. Additionally, for services offered in urban areas, an additional charge of Rs 500 each year is charged to each customer. However, there is no additional charge for services offered in rural areas.
