McGill University, the Université du Montréal, and the research institute Mila-Québec are collaborating on a research project that will use AI to combat online misinformation. Entitled “Une stratégie d’intelligence artificielle pour lutter contre la désinformation,” the partners will develop an online tool that can be integrated into website browsers to detect and counter disinformation and misinformation. The Government of Canada’s Digital Citizen Contributor Program is providing $292K to UMontréal toward the project. Canada Heritage Minister Pascale St-Onge said that the tool is expected to launch before October 2025.
