567 participants 189 submissions 14 companies watching

Problem Context

Deepfakes and AI-generated text can now create convincing fake news at scale. Design a system to protect election integrity without censoring legitimate speech.

AI-generated content is indistinguishable from real content 70% of the time. Fact-checking takes 24-48 hours; viral content peaks in 4 hours. Watermarking exists but can be removed. Platform moderation catches 40% of misleading content. First Amendment protects even misleading political speech.

Constraints

Must protect free speech
Must work faster than viral spread (< 4 hours)
Must be resistant to gaming by bad actors
Must work across platforms

Evaluation Criteria

Speed of detection vs spread
Free speech preservation
Technical robustness
Institutional feasibility
