Celine Samson, head of VERA Files online verification, was at the JournalismAI Festival 2025 in London last month where she shared insights about VERA Files’ use of artificial intelligence in combatting disinformation.
Samson cautioned against an overreliance on AI-detection tools.
“I have instructed my team to never rely just on one tool to build your fact check, because we know that tools can be unreliable,” she said
Samson’s sharing is featured in this article by Nieman Lab’s Andrew Deck: “News media is ‘becoming part of AI systems’: Notes from the JournalismAI Festival 2025.”
