False and Inaccurate Information

Sometimes it can be difficult to decipher what is real and what is fake on the internet. Most of the time misinformation is spread by people who “think” they’re right or have a general consensus on a topic. However, there are many times where people intentionally spread false information on the web. An example of this would be sharing something about a political campaign or quoting something from a celebrity. There are times where we get information from a source that we think is correct but in reality it is not. Here is an example of how misinformation is effecting this years presidential campaigns.

Impact of AI on Misinformation and Disinformation

Using AI can be tricky when looking for true information on the internet. AI can be used for so many different things like asking questions, generating pictures, and writing papers. AI can be a great tool for helping answer questions but sometimes the information from AI can be false. Many things can now be “AI” generated so whether the information is true or not can be difficult to understand and can lead to the spreed of misinformation.
