AI and Scientific Information

I was recently reading the July/August 2026 issue of “The Science Teacher” a publication of the National Science Teaching Association. In this issue I read the section “Fact-or-Faux” written by Jonathan Osborne.  He wrote an article entitled “AI – Friend or Foe?.”

Can AI help in detecting misinformation? Can it sort fact from faux? Here is a three-step process to help:

1. Get it In — Put the claim into AI

2. Track it Down — Track down the source

3. Follow Up — Follow up by asking more questions of AI about the source of the claim.
