I had to put myself on the edge of the AI research on fake news

De Facto was a challenge for me both as a researcher and an educator. I had to put myself on the edge of the AI research on fake news, and this was a multiplier for my own activity. I had also the opportunity to reflect on fake news and the education process in the meanwhile. Nowadays, young people use social media to form their consciousness, and to become citizens in our society: misinformation can have consequences of paramount importance on them. As a consequence, being able to perform fact checking, and developing an analytic approach to select information sources, have to be considered fundamental education skills. De Facto gave me such awareness. I guess the project ameliorated me both as a researcher and as a teacher.
