The field of artificial intelligence (AI) is continuously evolving, and its potential application to various aspects of everyday life, such as exposure to social media and information flow, is being explored. This paper addresses the challenges, issues, and ethics of using artificial intelligence for information verification, while also examining how it can beneficially contribute to the detection of misinformation. We live in an era where fake news is pervasive, making the application of modern technologies very useful in verifying the accuracy of information on the internet. In this context, artificial intelligence encompasses several areas – machine learning, deep learning, data analysis, etc. Its application is evident in the analysis of text, images, audio, and video to determine their authenticity and reliability. The goal is to verify the authenticity of information online, identify fake news, misinformation, and manipulative content, and ultimately raise awareness among users and provide them with reliable information. Artificial intelligence has already proven to be of great assistance to journalists, researchers, and internet users in the fight against misinformation and in the development of critical thinking.
