Risk Drivers

What is pushing the current reading.

The current landscape shows a significant increase in the use of AI-generated content and deepfakes, as evidenced by reports of AI videos causing alarm and misinformation being spread through social media platforms. This trend is exacerbated by political figures using manipulated imagery and narratives to influence public opinion and discredit opponents, as seen in the use of fake imagery by Trump. Additionally, there is a growing concern over AI's role in creating fake apps and misinformation about health and elections, which can have profound implications on public trust and safety. These developments indicate a systemic risk where technology is being leveraged to amplify misinformation, making it more challenging to discern truth from falsehoods.
