Misinformation is persistently mentioned as one of the major threats in the world today. It was Dictionary.com’s word of the year in 2018, and in 2024 the World Economic Forum’s annual Global Risks Report found misinformation powered by artificial intelligence (AI) to be the most severe threat facing the world over the next two years―greater than even active wars or threats of war, climate and weather events, or economic volatility. Thousands of books and research papers are published every year discussing the challenge of misinformation. In a 2023 Pew Research Center poll, 55 percent of Americans felt that the federal government “should take steps to restrict false information online, even if it limits freedom of information,” an increase of 16 percentage points in just five years.1 The discussion around misinformation is truly ubiquitous.
