UN warning against the spread of false information; in the age of artificial intelligence it is becoming harder to discern the truth.
The European Office of the United Nations, warning against the increase of false information and misleading content in the digital space, emphasized the need to strengthen communication and information literacy.
According to the United Nations, the information we read, watch and share on a daily basis plays an important role in shaping our worldview.
With the expansion of digital platforms and artificial intelligence technology, the way information is produced and distributed is changing rapidly, and it has become more difficult to distinguish authentic sources from fake news and manipulated content.
The UN emphasized that media literacy helps people evaluate news sources, question published content and make more informed decisions.
This institution advised users to check the original source, publisher and date of publication before republishing any article in order to prevent the spread of false information.
