Abstract

Social networks are capable of impacting positively and negatively on a country's social, political and economic scenarios. The large flow of information that circulates in these environments makes it impossible to conduct operations to combat disinformation and fake news by human action alone. In this context, the goal of this article is to explore the models and tools that can be used by the intelligence community to collect, analyze, and disseminate knowledge in the midst of a dubious quality of content produced by Artificial Intelligence. The aim of this article is to explore machine learning models that represent valuable auxiliary tools to monitor in real time opportunities and disinformation threats.
