New tools are required to assist people to understand the trustworthiness of the information they receive, separate signals from noise, and become better stewards of the global information environment. Led by the University of Washington, the Verified Information Exchange project seeks to produce an interoperable, modular proof-of-concept technology solution for generating trust signals in digital interactions, helping individuals evaluate the sourcing and veracity of the information they receive.  The trustworthiness of information people receive requires new tools and technology to separate signal from noise. Through this effort, the team’s solution will enable people to become better stewards of the global information environment that surrounds them daily. Using a convergent multidisciplinary approach—comprised of a wide range of backgrounds in data science, technology development, law, business, policy, curriculum development, community management, interdisciplinary research, and finance—the team will develop tools and components to generate and communicate trust signals across disparate domains and use cases. The result will produce an interoperable, modular proof-of-concept for a verified information exchange that would support tools that users can deploy to assess the trustworthiness and authenticity of digital information.

需要新的工具来帮助人们了解他们收到的信息的可信度，将信号与噪音分开，并成为全球信息环境的更好管家。由华盛顿大学牵头的验证信息交换项目寻求产生一种可互操作的模块化概念验证技术解决方案，用于在数字交互中生成信任信号，帮助个人评估他们收到的信息的来源和准确性。人们收到的信息的可信性需要新的工具和技术来分离信号和噪音。通过这一努力，该团队的解决方案将使人们能够更好地管理每天围绕着他们的全球信息环境。使用融合的多学科方法-包括数据科学、技术开发、法律、商业、政策、课程开发、社区管理、跨学科研究和金融的广泛背景-团队将开发工具和组件，以跨不同的领域和用例生成和传达信任信号。结果将为经核实的信息交换产生可互操作的模块化概念验证，以支持用户可以部署的工具，以评估数字信息的可信性和真实性。
