Risk Drivers

What is pushing the current reading.

The current landscape is marked by a significant increase in the use of AI technology to create convincing deepfakes, as exemplified by the fake video of Obama's arrest shared by Trump. This not only undermines trust in media but also exacerbates political tensions and misinformation. Additionally, the spread of misinformation about health, as seen with the FDA panel's controversial statements on antidepressants, further complicates public understanding and trust in health guidance. The combination of these factors, alongside the challenges in identifying misinformation among youth, indicates a systemic vulnerability to disinformation that could have long-term societal impacts.
