The "DeepFake-o-Meter" is a free, open-source, web-based platform developed by the UB Media Forensics Lab at the University at Buffalo (SUNY). Its purpose is to detect and analyze media (images, videos, and audio) to determine the likelihood of it being a "deepfake" – media that has been manipulated or generated using artificial intelligence techniques.

Degeurin, M. (2024, September 12). How an AI ‘debunkbot’ can change a conspiracy theorist’s mind. Popular Science
“...A group of researchers from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, Cornell, and American University put that idea to the test with a custom made chatbot they are now calling “debunkbot.” The researchers, who published their findings in Science, had self-described conspiracy theorists engage in a back-and-forth conversation with a chatbot, which was instructed to produce detailed counter arguments to refute their position and ultimately try to change their minds. In the end, conversations with the chatbot reduced the participant’s overall confidence in their professed conspiracy theory by an average of 20%. Around a quarter of the participants disavowed their conspiracy theory entirely after speaking with the AI.”
