An AI fact checker is a tool that automatically verifies whether a claim is supported by independent sources. Justificat.ro does this for Romanian: it extracts the verifiable claims from a text, article, image or clip, searches the web in real time, compares the claims against the evidence found and publishes a verdict together with the list of sources consulted.
An AI fact checker does not answer from the model's memory; it searches for sources at the time of the question. The difference matters: a model asked directly will produce a plausible answer even about events after its training cut-off. Justificat.ro runs the search before the verdict and shows what it found, so the reasoning can be checked by the reader.
Text written directly, news articles submitted by link, images and video clips. For video, the platform transcribes the content, identifies the claims and checks each one separately. For images, authenticity (manipulation, AI generation) is reported separately from the factual verdict — they are two different questions.
TRUE: supported by independent sources. MOSTLY TRUE: essentially correct, with imprecisions. FALSE: contradicted by sources. MISLEADING: literally correct but framed to suggest a wrong conclusion. INCONCLUSIVE: public evidence is insufficient. SATIRE: humour or parody, not a factual claim.
The verdict is an assessment of the public evidence available at the time of checking, not judicial expertise. Human review applies above a risk threshold, not to every analysis. When evidence is insufficient, the platform answers INCONCLUSIVE rather than forcing a verdict — a design choice, not a technical limitation.

Yes, Justificat.ro is an AI fact checker for Romanian. It verifies text, articles submitted by link, images and video clips, produces a verdict with a confidence score and lists the sources consulted. It has a web app, Chrome and Firefox extensions and an Android app.
An AI-generated verdict is as reliable as the sources it rests on — which is why Justificat.ro displays them in full. The confidence score reflects how consistent the evidence found is. Analyses with a negative verdict and low confidence are held for human review.
