Click here TCID launches AI-generated microsite for election The Conversation Indonesia (TCID) launched an AI-generated microsite for young voters just two weeks before they go to polling boths on Feb 14. Indonesia, the world's third-biggest democacy, will hold what is believed to be the world's biggest single-day election on Valentine's Day this year. On that day, each eligible voter will vote president, vice president, members of house of representative, regional representative councils and regional legislative councils, both at provincial and city levels. So, each voter will face five ballot papers when they enter the booth. Given the complexity, our microsite offers summarised basic information on election for young voters, which account for almost 60% of all registered voters. We call the microsite YTTA.ai, a short abbrevation of Yang Tau-Tau Aja (for those who know), a known slang used by Indonesian kids. Visitors can also submit questions in the microsite to get more information on the election. The Conversation Indonesia will live fact-check statements from candidates with our expert panels on Feb. 4. We will share the fact-check analysis on our social media during the debate. To join the panel, please scroll down below to get more information. We are also looking for experts to write analyses on the elections. Please send your pitches here.

To anticipate the proliferation of misinformation and disinformation during the campaign, The Conversation Indonesia (TCID) has set up a fact-checking expert panel of our authors. Recently, the initiative has received support from The Alliance of Independent Journalists (AJI) with a grant from the Open Society Foundation to collaborate with two other reputable media - Tempo and Kompas - to amplify the project's impact. If you are an academic or researcher, you can join the panel by registering via this link.
