Natural Language Processing (NLP) researchers are working to tackle the spread of fake news online. This involves developing ways to automatically identify and classify content as fake, by analyzing the language patterns and sources. They also study how false claims spread through social media, to understand this process. NLP can assess the reliability and biases in the language used, to judge the credibility of information. Researchers are also building systems to automatically fact-check claims against reliable sources.
