AI Debates That Fact-Check Themselves—and Persuade

What if AI could argue with itself to spot misinformation—and change minds?

Researchers introduce ED2D, an evidence-based multi-agent debate system. It doesn’t just label claims; it retrieves factual sources and generates clear debate transcripts so people can see the reasoning.

Outperforms prior methods on multiple detection benchmarks.
When its verdict is correct, ED2D’s debunking is about as persuasive as human experts.
But if it misclassifies, its explanations can unintentionally reinforce false beliefs—even alongside correct human explanations.

Why it matters: transparency builds trust and helps users learn how to spot shaky claims next time. The team also launched a community site to explore ED2D and practice collaborative fact-checking.

Bottom line: AI debates show real promise for detection and education, but they must ship with safeguards, careful evaluation, and humans in the loop.

Automating GDPR Compliance: A Roadmap for Companies and Law Firms

GDPR compliance is more than checkboxes. A new roadmap from the Privatech project shows how automation and machine learning can help companies and law firms assess—and even generate—privacy compliance. * Shift the focus to data processors’ real workflows: drafting policies, mapping data uses, documenting decisions. * Break compliance into machine-ready

FPGAs for Faster, Leaner Deep Learning: A Review of CNN Accelerators

Deep learning drives image search, robots, and medical scans. Most systems lean on CPUs and GPUs. This review asks: what if we run convolutional neural networks (CNNs) on FPGAs—reconfigurable chips you can tailor to the model? * Why FPGAs: custom dataflows, low latency, and strong energy efficiency—great for cameras,

Dynamic-K: Recommendations That Know When to Stop

Most apps show a fixed number of “top” items—say 10 movies or 20 products—assuming there are always enough good options. But that’s not always true: sometimes there are few relevant items, or some users are extra picky. The result? Filler recommendations. Dynamic-K flips the script. Instead of

Teaching chatbots to stop contradicting themselves (DECODE)

Teaching chatbots to stop contradicting themselves Ever had a bot say one thing, then the opposite a few turns later? This study introduces DECODE—a new task and dataset for spotting contradictions in everyday conversations, drawn from both human-human and human-bot chats. * New data beats existing natural language inference (NLI)
