How does AI spread misinformation?

Artificial intelligence spreads misinformation through the amplification of biased or misleading information on social media platforms. AI algorithms are designed to prioritize content that generates high levels of engagement, leading to the spread of sensationalized or false information. Additionally, AI-powered chatbots and deepfake technology can be used to create and disseminate fabricated content at scale, making it increasingly challenging to discern between what is true and what is not. As a result, the proliferation of misinformation driven by AI poses a significant threat to public discourse and democratic processes.
