AI and Scientific Information
from K12Science
I was recently reading the July/August 2026 issue of "The Science Teacher" a publication of the National Science Teaching Association. In this issue I read the section "Fact-or-Faux" written by Jonathan Osborne. He wrote an article entitled "AI - Friend or Foe?." Can AI help in detecting misinformation? Can it sort fact from faux? Here is a three-step process to help: 1. Get it In — Put the claim into AI 2. Track it Down — Track down the source 3. Follow Up — Follow up by asking more questions of AI about the source of the claim.
