La mésinformation désigne des informations fausses, inexactes ou trompeuses partagées indépendamment de l’existence d’une intention de tromper. Dans les contextes d’IA, elle peut être créée, amplifiée ou rendue plus persuasive par des systèmes génératifs, des systèmes de recommandation ou des médias synthétiques.
Misinformation refers to false or inaccurate information that's spread regardless of an intent to deceive. Unlike disinformation, which is deliberately misleading, misinformation is often shared without malicious intent.
The UK Government defines misinformation as 'the inadvertent spread of false information'. Advances in generative AI have lowered the barrier for the production of disinformation, misinformation, and deepfakes (PN 708).
Incorrect or misleading information that is often spread unintentionally. It differs from disinformation, which is deliberately deceptive and intentionally spread. In other words, misinformation is something you believe to be true, but in reality it is not, whereas disinformation is something you know to be untrue, but you share it anyway.
