Designed intentionally to mislead, disinformation is a big problem today. In this context, the EU-funded TITAN project will develop an engaging ecosystem to empower citizens to question, investigate and understand whether a statement is true. Through intelligent coaching on the process of investigation, TITAN will introduce AI-driven, intuitive and personalised ‘question-and-response’ interaction system setting the attention of the investigating citizen on the logical interpretation and critical assessment of the implied reasoning and arguments in the statement at hand. Developed based on a human-centred approach, intelligent coaching conversational schemes will be personalised according to the investigating citizen’s profile.
