Conversational AI to rebut COVID-19 rumours, myths, and misinformation

As the world battles the COVID-19 pandemic, an epidemic of misinformation has been circulating through different communication channels and communities. The objectives of our project are to increase UNICEF’s ability to identify and track rumours and myths around COVID-19 through the U-Report Chatbot, and to develop more sophisticated tools for responding to and debunking rumours.
