Risk Drivers

What is pushing the current reading.

The current landscape is marked by a significant increase in fake science publications, which undermines public trust in legitimate research and fuels misinformation. Additionally, ongoing legal battles and international tensions around anti-disinformation efforts, particularly involving high-profile figures like Donald Trump, highlight the politicization of misinformation. Health misinformation, particularly scams related to weight loss and vaccines, continues to pose substantial risks to public health. These issues are compounded by the use of deepfakes and AI-generated content, which further blur the lines between reality and fiction, making it increasingly difficult for the public to discern truth from falsehoods.
