Autonomous fact-checking, using machine learning to verify claims, has grownvital as misinformation spreads beyond human fact-checking capacity. LargeLanguage Models (LLMs) like GPT-4 are increasingly trusted to verifyinformation and write academic papers, lawsuits, and news articles, emphasizingtheir role in discerning truth from falsehood and the importance of being ableto verify their outputs. Here, we evaluate the use of LLM agents infact-checking by having them phrase queries, retrieve contextual data, and makedecisions. Importantly, in our framework, agents explain their reasoning andcite the relevant sources from the retrieved context. Our results show theenhanced prowess of LLMs when equipped with contextual information. GPT-4outperforms GPT-3, but accuracy varies based on query language and claimveracity. While LLMs show promise in fact-checking, caution is essential due toinconsistent accuracy. Our investigation calls for further research, fosteringa deeper comprehension of when agents succeed and when they fail.
