How to identify misinformation, disinformation, and malinformation.: D97-1/00-300-2022E-PDF

"The effects of misinformation, disinformation, and malinformation (MDM) cost the global economy billions of dollars each year. Often known colloquially as "fake news", MDM are damaging to public trust in institutions and, during elections, may even pose a threat to democracy itself. MDM has become a serious concern for consumers and organizations of all sizes. New technologies such as machine learning, natural language processing, and amplification networks are being used to discredit factual information. Disinformation campaigns may use artificial intelligence (AI) to spread false and misleading information, such as deepfakes. Deepfakes refer to artificially generated images, audio, and videos used in place of the original image, audio, or video. This document offers consumers and organizations information on identifying MDM and implementing the appropriate security measures for mitigation strategies"--Page [1].
