How to spot false information produced by artificial intelligence.
Thanks to developments in generative AI, phony photos, films, sounds, and chatbots are becoming commonplace. However, research has shown the most reliable methods for determining authenticity.

However, by being aware of the current state of artificial intelligence (AI) tools used to spread false information.
Advances in generative AI have led to the rise of fake images, videos, audio, and bots, making them increasingly indistinguishable from human-created content. To protect yourself from being taken in by AI-generated misinformation, it is essential to understand the current state of AI technologies used to create misinformation and the range of telltale signs that might be fake. The World Economic Forum reports that misinformation and disinformation may disrupt electoral processes in several economies over the next two years, and easier access to AI tools has enabled an explosion in falsified information and synthetic content. Research suggests that AI-generated images and audio are nearly indistinguishable from reality. To detect AI images, media literacy requires AI literacy, with research suggesting people are currently about 70% accurate at detecting fake AI images. Common types of errors in AI-generated images include sociocultural implausibilities, anatomical implausibilities, stylistic artefacts, functional implausibilities, and violations of physics. By following these strategies, you can help reduce your risk of falling for social media misinformation or disinformation created by AI.
