The proliferation of misinformation on social media poses significant societal risks, including the erosion of public trust and the amplification of harmful narratives. This paper explores the role of Artificial Intelligence (AI) tools in real-time fact-checking to combat misinformation. By leveraging machine learning, natural language processing, and network analysis, these tools identify, verify, and counter misinformation. Through a systematic evaluation of existing AI-driven fact-checking tools and a case study implementation, the research highlights the strengths, limitations, and potential improvements of AI in this domain.
