"Australia is facing a wave of misinformation and disinformation on climate
change and energy. This is being fuelled by the growth in artificial
intelligence and allowed to spread freely on social media, according to the
findings of a Senate inquiry.
This misinformation presents a threat to action on climate change, but also
challenges the health of Australia’s democracy, the committee found. AI was
even used to generate fake content in some of the submissions to the inquiry.
Drawing on 247 written submissions and 11 days of public hearings – including
some extraordinary revelations I’ll get to shortly – senators from all sides of
politics heard about the challenge our society faces to combat misinformation
and disinformation."
