About this report
In an age when digital falsehoods spread faster than truth, a Norwegian start-up is arming Europe with new defenses. Factiverse – born out of the University of Stavanger – has developed artificial intelligence that can spot misleading claims in real time. Its technology was put to the test during recent election debates, flagging dubious statements within seconds.
The company’s founders, a machine-learning professor and a former journalist, share a mission to protect democratic discourse from manipulation. Their AI tool works across dozens of languages, giving European newsrooms and agencies a way to instantly verify information without relying on foreign platforms.
