Factiverse at Media Futures day
After many months in the program, together with talented artists and entrepreneurs, Factiverse AS pitched at the DemoDay in Paris. Watch our pitch and product demo in this video (starts at 3h:24).
78 billion USD is the annual cost of disinformation to the global economy. Decision makers in media, finance, compliance and defence spend hours of wasted time manually verifying information. During the pitch, we presented our product, Brenda, a tool that customers can use to automatically detect harmful and controversial information in any online content. This saves time and ensures better decisions are made at speed.
