Risk Drivers

What is pushing the current reading.

The current global threat level from misinformation is elevated due to a surge in disinformation surrounding the U.S.-Iran conflict, as well as the proliferation of AI-generated content that complicates the verification of information. The conflict has led to a narrative war, with various actors spreading false claims about military actions and political statements, which could exacerbate geopolitical tensions and public distrust. Additionally, the use of AI to create realistic but false images and videos further complicates the public's ability to discern truth from falsehood, increasing the potential for misinformation to influence public opinion and policy decisions.
