The internship includes working on several tasks related to our Misinformation (Journalism) Project: we provide selected journalists with a daily news summary exploring the toxic trends and misinformation narratives of the day.

Second, the internship will encompass deliverables for clients and sending clients overviews of the toxic/misinformation attacks on them. Finally, the intern will act as an analyst and researcher helping to improve our constantly evolving AI detection algorithm (no worries, no prior knowledge in computer science is needed).

At VineSight we fight disinformation on social media. Specifically, we built an early warning system that helps our clients protect their brand’s reputation and messaging from disinformation and toxic attacks. Our network-based AI analyzes share-patterns - not the content itself - to identify toxic narratives. This allows us to move fast and review toxic trends across the social graph, no matter whether the medium is text, images, videos, or deepfakes. Once our clients are aware and informed of relevant disinformation attacks, we help them respond quickly to defend their reputation and messaging. We also provide our clients and selected journalists with a daily feed of viral misinformation that our AI detects on social media. These narratives often focus on vaccines, COVID-19 and other current subjects.
