contents <p>This paper presents Trust Sense, an explainable artificial intelligence system designed to detect psychological manipulation in digital content, including text, audio, and video.</p> <p>The proposed approach integrates natural language processing, multimodal analysis, and cognitive psychology principles to evaluate content credibility beyond traditional fake news detection methods. The system introduces a novel Manipulation Index (MI) and a Trust Score (TS), combining emotional intensity, urgency signals, bias indicators, and persuasive patterns.</p> <p>The architecture is based on a modular and scalable design, supporting real-time analysis and future integration into automated media pipelines such as AI-generated news broadcasting.</p> <p>Experimental results demonstrate strong performance across multiple evaluation metrics, highlighting the system’s ability to identify manipulative patterns and provide interpretable outputs.</p> <p>This work contributes to the field of explainable AI (XAI) by bridging technical analysis with psychological interpretation, offering a new perspective on misinformation detection.</p> <p>This paper is a preprint and has not yet undergone peer review.</p>
