AI Capstone Project

For my AI Product Design capstone project, I ideated and designed an AI-powered app to address the widespread issue of misinformation on social media. The app leverages advanced machine learning algorithms to detect and highlight potentially misleading or false information in users’ feeds. By analyzing content across various media types—text, images, and video—the app identifies patterns and flags misinformation, providing real-time alerts and contextual insights. Users can understand why a post might be flagged as potentially unreliable, fostering greater awareness and digital literacy within their social media experience.

Beyond detection, the app offers an educational component designed to empower users to spot misinformation themselves. Through interactive modules, users can learn common red flags of false information, recognize emotional manipulation tactics, and develop critical thinking skills in evaluating online content. This feature not only helps users to better navigate the information landscape but also supports a culture of informed skepticism, making social media a safer and more trustworthy space.
