# Problem Statement

The digital world faces an accelerating misinformation crisis, amplified by AI’s speed and scale. Existing moderation and fact-checking methods are fragmented, slow, and unable to meet the demand for trustworthy verification.<br>

1. Information Overload: Billions of posts daily on platforms like Twitter/X make manual moderation impossible.
2. AI-Generated Misinformation: LLMs and generative models produce credible yet false narratives, images, and videos.
3. Trust Deficit: Users, governments, and institutions lack ways to verify authenticity at scale.

Fragmented Efforts: Current fact-checking initiatives are siloed, slow, and lack transparency.
