flag Canada's AI tool CIPHER now detects disinformation from Russia, China, and the U.S., focusing on false narratives like Alberta independence, with human fact-checkers verifying claims.

flag Canadian researchers have upgraded the AI tool CIPHER to detect disinformation targeting Canada, initially focusing on Russian sources but now expanding to Chinese and U.S. content. flag The system scans foreign media for misleading claims, such as false narratives about Alberta’s independence, which are then verified by human fact-checkers. flag Developed by the Canadian Institute for Advanced Research and used by DisinfoWatch, CIPHER aims to counter AI-driven falsehoods designed to exploit small truths and deepen societal divisions. flag The tool is under consideration for government adoption, while experts urge stronger platform regulations and caution Canadians to pause before sharing online content.
