Despite access to real-time web search, chatbots are still struggling with accuracy. While the real-time access allows them to pull current info, it also opens the door to unreliable sources. With real-time web access, chatbots are increasingly prone to citing unreliable sources — many with trustworthy sounding names — and amplifying falsehoods circulating. This problem could be exacerbated in the coming months because some chatbots have stepped up plans to replace traditional searches on topics in the news by offering AI products specifically related to queries on news topics.  Read our full report here: https://lnkd.in/dR5n3vnM

“Financer moins pour plus d’impact” C’est le principal message que j’ai voulu faire passer lors de la passionnante table ronde sur “les nouvelles voies de financement de l’influence” à laquelle j’ai eu l’honneur de participer au Paris Defence and Strategy Forum ce mardi. Alors que les voies traditionnelles de financement de la #désinformation continuent à exister (notamment via la publicité programmatique de grandes marques, toujours détournée pour financer 87 sites relayant de la désinformation russe, 3 ans après le début de la guerre en Ukraine!!), il devient de moins en moins cher de créer et de diffuser de la propagande d’État et de la désinformation. Création de faux sites d’information générés par IA qui produisent de larges contenus à moindre coût (John Mark Dougan, ancien sheriff adjoint de Floride devenu propagandiste du Kremlin se vantait récemment de la capacité de son serveur d’IA à produire, seul, 90.000 articles par mois) et contamination des outils occidentaux d’IA générative via le blanchiment de récits pro-russes sur de nombreux sites internet en plusieurs langues : l’ingérence et la désinformation coûtent aujourd’hui moins cher pour un impact démultiplié… Il faut donc muscler nos réponses - à quand le panel bis pour discuter des solutions auxquelles nous travaillons chez NewsGuard??? Merci à François Saltiel pour sa modération comme toujours impeccable, à mes co-panélistes Christine Dugoin-Clément- PhD Julie Charpentrat Benjamin GRANGE et Marie-Christine DUPUIS-DANON pour cet échange passionnant, et merci Christine Dugoin-Clément- PhD pour l’invitation!

Looking forward to speaking at the Trust & Safety Summit in London next week! I’ll be sharing insights on how we identify misinformation at scale at NewsGuard—and how the right tools and expertise enable rapid detection and response. Excited to join the conversation on protecting information integrity online!

🎤 BBC News’ US National Digital Reporter Mike W. led the ‘News in the Digital Age’ panel this past Saturday at #SXSW to dissect how the evolution of social media platforms, introduction of AI and rise of citizen journalism are transforming how we make and read the news. Alongside Sarah Brandt, Sally Lehrman, and Naomi Nix, the panel delved into the escalating challenges of mis/disinformation, how to equip audiences with the right tools for evaluating the accuracy of online information, and the vital role of rigorously reported journalism in growing and maintaining audience trust.  

New Report: How Russian Disinformation Is Influencing AI Chatbots A Russian disinformation effort that flooded the web with false claims and propaganda is still shaping the output of major AI chatbots, according to a new report from NewsGuard, shared first with Axios. As AI continues to play a growing role in delivering news and information, the risk of bad actors manipulating online content to influence AI-generated responses is a challenge that platforms must address.
