Misinformation is considered one of the major challenges of our times resulting in numerous efforts against it.Fact-checking, the task of assessing whether a claim is true or false, is considered a key in reducing its impact.In the first part of this talk I will present our recent and ongoing work on automating this task using natural language processing, including neurosymbolic inference, and using a search engine as a source of evidence.In the second part of this talk, I will present an alternative approach to combatting misinformation via dialogue agents, and present results on how internet users engage in constructive disagreements and problem-solving deliberation.
