Think Fast, Think Slow, Think Critical: Designing an Automated Propaganda Detection Tool
CoRR(2024)
摘要
In today's digital age, characterized by rapid news consumption and
increasing vulnerability to propaganda, fostering citizens' critical thinking
is crucial for stable democracies. This paper introduces the design of
ClarifAI, a novel automated propaganda detection tool designed to nudge readers
towards more critical news consumption by activating the analytical mode of
thinking, following Kahneman's dual-system theory of cognition. Using Large
Language Models, ClarifAI detects propaganda in news articles and provides
context-rich explanations, enhancing users' understanding and critical
thinking. Our contribution is threefold: first, we propose the design of
ClarifAI; second, in an online experiment, we demonstrate that this design
effectively encourages news readers to engage in more critical reading; and
third, we emphasize the value of explanations for fostering critical thinking.
The study thus offers both a practical tool and useful design knowledge for
mitigating propaganda in digital news.
