摘要
With the rapid advancement of technology, it is essential to understand the psychological, ethical, and technical challenges associated with the dissemination of mis- and disinformation. These include the increased use of artificial intelligence (AI) to spread information more rapidly, the deployment of disinformation campaigns to sway public opinion, and the influence of misinformation on making poor health choices. The aim of this chapter is to critically analyse the impact that the spread of mid- and disinformation has on society. Furthermore, the chapter offers recommendations to mitigate these challenges, including strategies to build resistance against misinformation.
