Effects of AI on the production of fake news

Posted on Posted in Research

As part of an international research project, our institute is investigating the effects of artificial intelligence on the production of fake news. Numerous state and private troll factories use AI systems to create fake news. This is particularly evident in war and crisis reporting and in the discussion about the causes of global climate change. As part of an international research project, systems that deliberately seek to influence the public with incorrect information will be investigated until the next UN Climate Change Conference in Azerbaijan in 2024.

Project period: January 2024 – November 2024

Project leader: Prof. Fred Turnheim
