Researchers have developed FACTWASH, an open-source tool designed to detect "factwashing" in AI-generated text. Factwashing occurs when AI systems rewrite information, stripping away verifiable details and context, such as the source or certainty of a claim. The tool uses a combination of keyword flagging and a lightweight LLM witness to identify these alterations, achieving high accuracy in detecting explicit negation and significant improvements in identifying hedging and attribution.
