The Mohamed bin Zayed University of Artificial Intelligence (MBZUAI) in Abu Dhabi has launched a new tool designed to identify persuasion tactics used in media reports. According to The National, this innovative system, named Frappe, aims to analyze various techniques found in articles and reports to combat the spread of misinformation.

The Frappe system seeks to enhance media literacy by providing users with the ability to recognize how information is presented and the potential biases that may exist. By focusing on the methods of persuasion employed in journalism, the tool hopes to empower individuals to make more informed decisions when consuming news.

This development comes at a time when the importance of discerning fact from fiction in the media landscape is more crucial than ever. With the rise of fake news and disinformation, MBZUAI’s initiative represents a significant step toward promoting transparency and accountability in news reporting.
