Bots, Botnet, and Misinformation: A Study

Bots and networks of bots (known as a botnet) are a powerful tool in the world of misinformation. However, there are methods being developed to counter these tools. One such method is the use of Artificial Intelligence and machine learning to automatically filter, block, and identify bot accounts and bot posts. Since the influx of bot posts and videos is too much for hired people to handle in any way that is financially reasonable for a company, AI can be the key to preventing the spread of information.
