There is widespread of misinformation on futuristic technology and society. To accurately detect such news, the algorithms require up-to-date knowledge. The Large Language Models excel in the NLP but cannot retrieve the ongoing events or innovations. For example, GPT and it’s variants are restricted till the knowledge of 2021. We introduce a new methodology for the identification of fake news pertaining to futuristic technology and society. Leveraging the power of Google Knowledge, we enhance the capabilities of the GPT-3.5 language model, thereby elevating its performance in the detection of misinformation. The proposed framework exhibits superior efficacy compared to established baselines with the accuracy of 81.04%. Moreover, we propose a novel dataset consisting of fake news in three languages English, Telugu and Tenglish of around 21000 from various sources.

We propose a novel dataset for detecting religious hate speech in the context of elections in Karnataka, with a particular focus on Kannada and Kannada-English code-mixed text. The data was collected during the Karnataka state elections and includes 3,000 labeled samples that reflect various forms of online discourse related to religion. This dataset aims to address the growing concern of religious intolerance and hate speech during election periods, it’s a dataset of multilingual, code-mixed language. To evaluate the effectiveness of this dataset, we benchmarked it using the latest state-of-the-art algorithms. We achieved accuracy of 78.61%.
