Following Jeffrey Epstein's death on August 10, 2019, conspiracy theories have proliferated, particularly with the release of over 3 million documents by the Department of Justice related to his sex-trafficking networks. In response to the cumbersome official data interface, some Americans are utilizing artificial intelligence to create user-friendly platforms for navigating these documents. However, these platforms often masquerade as neutral research tools while promoting conspiratorial narratives. For instance, the platform WEBB, which claims to enhance document intelligence, is linked to Ian Carroll, a known conspiracy theorist. Such tools can mislead users by presenting dubious connections and fostering paranoia. As these platforms expand to include datasets on other conspiracy theories, the risk of misinformation grows, complicating the public's understanding of the intricate details surrounding Epstein's case.
