Nice when @LIRNEasia research quoted - today by @bbc. But thereโs no joy when it points to how many of our people live in poverty. Hoping the candidate who wins next weekโs Presidential election makes alleviating poverty a priority @gayanihurulle

Not the main point but it was a lively panel. Touched on tools we are building (w/ @TeamWatchDog) for journalists & fact checkers, general responsible AI approaches (@merl_syrex @GlobalIndexRAI ) & policy work on platform governance & taxation (@gayanihurulle, @shenali_b)
"Our AI is 93% accurate compared to human moderators regarding whether content is (un)truthful" @HelaniGalpaya on the question of how AI can help with content moderation. Adds that govs tend to introduce 'fake news laws' before data protection laws, citing Singapore as example.
