TOOL TO HELP QUELL POTATO MYTHS

New AI tool will combat misinformation on potatoes contribution to diet and health via social media.

ORGANISATION TO USE ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE TO RESPOND TO INCORRECT SOCIAL MEDIA CLAIMS ABOUT POTATO’S EFFECT ON HEALTH AND MORE.

POTATOES USA is currently putting together an artificial intelligence tool to combat misinformation on social media.


President Blair Richardson said the system will monitor and track what’s happening on social media and enable the organisation to quell misinformation relating to potatoes’ effects on health.


It will use research that the Alliance for Potato Research and Education has been investing in for the past 15 years as well as additional research that has not been funded by the industry, to respond to incorrect statements about potatoes.
