The speed and the way misinformation about climate change and sustainability issues moves around the world is rapidly changing. Now, the Centre presents a new synthesis on AI and climate misinformation in connection to the Nobel Prize Summit 2023, "Truth, Trust and Hope"
Generative artificial intelligence (AI) tools make it easier than ever to produce sophisticated texts, images and videos that basically cannot be distinguished from human-generated content.
Combined with the expansion of online social networks, the influence of recommender systems, and increased automation, this could become a game-changer for misinformation on climate.
In a new synthesis, Centre researchers Victor Galaz and Stefan Daume, describe the challenges and ways forward together with colleagues from Karolinska Institutet and the Complexity Science Hub Vienna.
The synthesis was presented in connection to the Nobel Prize Summit 2023, "Truth, Trust and Hope", in Washington D.C., on 25 May 2023.
