A recent study by the MIT Media Lab confirmed that lies on Twitter traveled “farther, faster, deeper, and more broadly than the truth in all categories of information.” How can technology ensure the integrity of future elections?
Dr. Vishnu S. Pendyala, Technical Leader, Cisco Systems Inc., San Jose, California, USA is the author of _The Veracity of Big Data: Machine Learning and Other Approaches to Verifying Truthfulness_.
