KPI 19
With recent technological developments, digital tools can increasingly be used to weaponize information and undermine the reliability, accuracy and trustworthiness of the information ecosystem. The rapid development of generative artificial intelligence in particular, has lowered the cost and increased the ease with which large amounts of multimodal content can be generated. The threats and challenges to the online information ecosystem present significant concerns, impacting the integrity of information essential for the functioning of societies, democracies, and financial markets.
