Combating Disinformation in Switzerland: The Role of AI, Fact-Checking, and Collaborative Efforts

Abstract

Disinformation is increasingly prevalent on social media, undermining trust in digital platforms and affecting democratic institutions. Switzerland, despite its advanced digital competencies, lacks specific legal frameworks and effective measures to counteract disinformation, especially regarding the use of AI for automated fact-checking. This presents a substantial challenge in managing the spread of false information and protecting public discourse.
