Risk Drivers

What is pushing the current reading.

The current landscape is marked by a significant increase in misinformation and disinformation activities, particularly involving AI-generated content and geopolitical narratives. The use of AI to create misleading videos, as seen in Hungary's election context, and the spread of fake news about energy crises in the Philippines, highlight the sophisticated nature of current misinformation tactics. These developments are compounded by ongoing issues with fake news in various sectors, including health, finance, and politics, which are exacerbated by the rapid dissemination capabilities of social media platforms.
