Solution Overview

Problem

The proliferation of misleading propaganda and misinformation in media content poses a significant challenge, as existing methods rely heavily on human scrubbers that can introduce bias, leading to mistrust among consumers and societal division.

Innovation Solution

A system and method utilizing Machine Learning models, trained on diverse media content datasets, to analyze and flag potential propaganda within media content, providing users with a quick and transparent assessment of content validity, thereby enhancing trust between consumers and providers.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Reliability

If human scrubbers are used to filter media content, then content verification can be performed, but bias is introduced and trust is reduced

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvecontent verificationVSAvoidobjectivity
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSMeasurement precision

Solution Approach 1:

The patent replaces the mechanical human scrubbing system with an automated machine learning-based verification system. The ML models analyze media content objectively without human bias, maintaining verification reliability while eliminating the subjectivity and bias inherent in human-based filtering operations.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #28Mechanics substitution (Replace mechanical system)

Solution Approach 2:

The patent introduces machine learning models as an intermediary between media content and consumers. These models act as neutral mediators that objectively assess content veracity, replacing the biased human scrubbers and restoring trust by providing impartial, data-driven verification results.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

2Object-affected harmful factors

If media content is filtered and modified, then propaganda can be removed, but content accuracy and originality are altered

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvepropaganda removalVSAvoidcontent accuracy
Core Design Contradiction:
Object-affected harmful factorsVSManufacturing precision

Solution Approach 1:

The patent substitutes manual content modification with automated ML-based detection and flagging. Instead of altering content through human filtering, the system objectively identifies and marks problematic content segments, preserving original content accuracy while removing harmful propaganda elements through transparent, data-driven analysis.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #28Mechanics substitution (Replace mechanical system)

Solution Approach 2:

The patent implements a feedback mechanism where ML models continuously learn from verified content and update their detection capabilities. This feedback loop ensures that content accuracy is maintained while progressively improving propaganda removal effectiveness, allowing the system to adapt to new propaganda techniques without compromising factual integrity.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #23Feedback

3Measurement precision

If human content scrubbers manually qualify content, then bias can be reduced, but time consumption increases

Engineering Contradiction:
ImproveobjectivityVSAvoidcontent verification time
Core Design Contradiction:
Measurement precisionVSLoss of time

Solution Approach 1:

The patent replaces time-consuming manual scrubbing operations with high-speed machine learning algorithms that can process and verify media content in seconds. The ML models perform objective analysis automatically, eliminating the time investment required for human review while maintaining the same level of objectivity and verification precision.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #28Mechanics substitution (Replace mechanical system)

Solution Approach 2:

The patent enables continuous, real-time content verification through automated ML processing. Unlike batch human review, the system operates continuously as content is published, providing immediate verification without the time delays inherent in manual processing workflows.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #20Continuity of useful action

4Productivity

If media syndication networks control content distribution, then reach is maximized, but mistrust and societal division increase

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvecontent distribution reachVSAvoidconsumer trust
Core Design Contradiction:
ProductivityVSReliability

Solution Approach 1:

The patent introduces machine learning verification models as an independent intermediary layer between media syndication networks and consumers. This intermediary provides transparent, objective verification that restores consumer trust without interfering with the legitimate content distribution reach of syndication networks.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

Solution Approach 2:

The patent implements feedback mechanisms that provide consumers with real-time information about content veracity and potential bias. This feedback loop allows consumers to make informed decisions about what to consume, restoring trust while preserving the broad reach of media distribution networks.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #23Feedback

AI summary

The present invention uses a novel method of using machine learning (ML) algorithms to train predictive models for content classification to spot bias, non-truths, miss-information and altered reality in publicly published media content. The predictive ML models automatically identify quality ratings, truth and honesty, content and site ranking, fact summarization and publishing history to quickly identify certain misinformation embedded within the media content. The purpose of the models is to quickly analyze and identify for the consumer when, where and what may have been altered or may be misleading information in the content. Thus, independent of human positioning or bias, the present invention teaches one knowledgeable in the art how to build and deploy AI based models that independently rank and classify different published media. The invention uses a variety of novel methods along with methods of deployment to spot and identify where content contains personal opinions, third party human judgement, applied intentional bias and/or content positioning propaganda. Thus, the present invention uses various methods of machine learning deployed through software applications running on computing mobile or desktop devices for the purpose of restoring truth and honesty in worlds journalism, social media communications and advertising.
