Abstract

ammico (AI-based Media and Misinformation Content Analysis Tool) is a publicly available software package written in Python 3, whose purpose is the simultaneous evaluation of the text and graphical content of image files. After describing the software features, we provide an assessment of its performance using a multi-country, multi-language data set containing COVID-19 social media disinformation posts. We conclude by highlighting the tool’s advantages for communication research.
