Experts warn GenAI text poses systemic disinformation risk, call for provenance standards

By PulseAugur Editorial · [1 sources] ·

A new survey of AI researchers, policymakers, and disinformation specialists reveals concerns about generative AI's role in creating disinformation. Experts perceive text-based GenAI as a systemic risk, potentially leading to "epistemic fragmentation" and "synthetic consensus," particularly in political contexts. While technical detection tools are met with skepticism, there is a call for provenance standards and regulatory frameworks to address the challenge of tracking and countering synthetic media. The research emphasizes the need for reproducible methods and information integrity as an infrastructure. AI

IMPACT Highlights the growing threat of AI-generated text disinformation and the need for robust provenance and regulatory solutions.
