"Generative artificial intelligence (AI) tools are supercharging the problem of
misinformation, disinformation and fake news. OpenAI’s ChatGPT, Google’s
Gemini, and various image, voice and video generators have made it easier than
ever to produce content, while making it harder to tell what is factual or
real.

Malicious actors looking to spread disinformation can use AI tools to largely
automate the generation of convincing and misleading text.

This raises pressing questions: how much of the content we consume online is
true and how can we determine its authenticity? And can anyone stop this?

It’s not an idle concern. Organisations seeking to covertly influence public
opinion or sway elections can now scale their operations with AI to
unprecedented levels. And their content is being widely disseminated by search
engines and social media."
