As part of the 32 Create in India Challenges, the government has organised the TruthTell Hackathon, a global challenge to build smart tools to catch false content in real-time — during live news, on social media, and videos.
The event was recently organised by the India Cellular & Electronics Association (ICEA) and the I&B Ministry. The tools and platforms built by the winners will be showcased at the grand finale of the first edition of the World Audio Visual Entertainment Summit (WAVES) 2025 in Mumbai from May 1 to 4.
Of over 5,600 entries from across the world, 25 teams were shortlisted to present their ideas in Delhi. The five teams that won a prize money of `10 lakh included Team Unicron (Delhi) who built Anvesha, an AI tool to spot false information in texts, images, and videos; Team Alchemist (Dehradun) who created VeriStream, which can fact-check during live broadcasts using AI and maps.
Team Whooshing Liars (Bengaluru) created Nexus of Truth, which can catch deepfakes and false news in multiple languages; Team Bug Smashers (Delhi) developed Live Truth, which can provide live credibility scores and alerts using GPS, and Team Vortex Squad (Bengaluru) designed a system that checks facts in real-time during live events.
