Preventing Misinformation Superspreaders
In less than a year, websites hosting AI-generated fake news have increased more than 1,000%…
Journalism watchdog NewsGuard, recently identified 614 websites hosting “unreliable AI-generated news” an over 1000% increase from their last report on this in May. Given consumer accessible generative AI is still relatively new and quickly growing, we expect to see this trend continue. In 2024, we can expect to see heightened levels of election-related disinformation through sites like these.
Given our mission, it is incumbent upon us to counteract these trends.
If you’d like to support us in our effort to counteract the proliferation of disinformation, please consider contributing to our year-end fundraiser or even signing-up for a small recurring contribution.
In the last month, we’ve raised over $6500 in donations.
Help us reach our year end goal of $10,000.
We thank you for any level of support.
And to those of you who have already donated, thank you! 🥂
Sorry, I make too many MIP-related memes
