New York, NY November 01, 2024 --(PR.com)-- Two days, TIME revealed its annual list of the Best Inventions, which features 200 extraordinary innovations including AI Seer's Facticity.AI which is changing our lives. To compile this year's list, TIME solicited nominations from TIME editors and correspondents around the world. TIME then evaluated each contender on a number of key factors, including originality, efficacy, ambition, and impact. Of the new list, TIME’s editors write: “The result is a list of 200 groundbreaking inventions… that are changing how we live, work, play, and think about what’s possible.” About the Digital Fact-Checker Facticity.AI, TIME writes: "In a world of disinformation, Facticity.AI, an artificially intelligent fact-checking tool developed by Singapore start-up AI Seer, seeks to tip the scales in the truth’s favor. Facticity’s online tool, released in beta in June, checks claims in text and video, and provides references and links to reliable sources. The company claims 92% accuracy, beating competitor tools like Bing CoPilot, Perplexity, and Originality.ai (which claims about 72% accuracy on fact-checking). Facticity was put to the test during the most recent presidential debate, checking almost 250 claims in near real-time." Jacob Kozhipatt, a former Business Insider reporter who worked with the AI Seer team to manually verify its checks for this high stake event, says he was impressed by Facticity's capacity of 20xing mainstream media fact-checking abilities as evidenced by its performance during the Harris V Trump debate. He has since joined the Advisory Board of AI Seer.
