IDEA TITLE
Proposed Solution:An AI "watchdog" that spots and flags
fake, LLM-written content before it spreads
• We are building a system that scans social media, news sites and
messages to catch AI-generated fake news, propaganda and deepfake
text that could threaten India's national security, then alerts security teams
before it goes viral
• LLMs like ChatGPT can now write fake news, propaganda and troll posts
that sound completely human, making it easy for hostile actors to run
influence campaigns at massive scale; our tool spots these AI

TECHNICALAPPROACH
• Python, AItext-detection models (like RoBERTa/BERT
fine-tuned to spot machine-written text), a fact-checking
database, network-graph tools to trace how a post
spreads, and a live dashboard on the cloud for security
teams
• Step 1: Collect posts from social media and news →
Step 2: AI model flags text that looks machine-written
→ Step 3: Cross-check facts against trusted sources
→ Step 4: Map how the content is spreading → Step
5: Send a real-time alert to a security dashboard

FEASIBILITY AND VIABILITY
•Feasible: AI-text detectors and fact-checking tools
already exist separately; our idea is to combine them
into one early-warning system, buildable with open-
source tools and cloud infrastructure, and tested first
with a small pilot on a few platforms
• Newer LLMs write more human-like text and are harder
to detect, huge volumes of daily posts make monitoring
hard, false alarms can waste investigators' time, and
getting data access from social platforms raises privacy
concerns

IMPACT AND BENEFITS
•Helps national security agencies, media and fact-
checking bodies, election watchdogs, and the general
public by cutting off fake, AI-generated propaganda
before it can influence public opinion or trigger unrest
• Social: less panic and division from fake news |
Economic: prevents markets and businesses from being
rattled by false stories | Strategic: protects elections,
public trust and India's national security decision-
making
