In the last few years, the world has been faced with the Corona epidemic that has ruined everything and caused crises in all aspects of life, and to this day we can suffer from all of them financially, healthly or spiritually.
In the last two years we have faced great difficulties in light of the Corona epidemic, but now we are facing another type of epidemic associated with “false information”.
The World Health Organization has been one of the organizations most damaged by misinformation about COVID-19, which spread like wildfire thanks to social media.
The organization, which has been trying to send messages containing information that refutes the false and misleading information that has been deliberately published recently, is now faced with a new news source, some depending on reports or information that programs can show. and artificial intelligence applications, especially in light of the growing trust in it by adolescents and young people, this is adding new burdens both to its own shoulders and to the shoulders of various governments around the world.
To counter the spread, the World Health Organization has formed a team that works closely with search engine companies and social networks such as “Facebook”, “Google”, “Pinterest”, “Twitter”, “Tik Tok”, “YouTube” and others. Rumors containing false information about the corona virus.
Last June, the head of the organization, Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus, stressed that the goals of the World Health Organization are “public, open and transparent” and expressed regret that “a small minority” “give misleading information and deliberately manipulate the facts”.
The World Health Organization has created a new term to refer to this issue, the “information epidemic”.
According to technologists, productive AI tools are “the most powerful tool for spreading misinformation on the Internet.”
“You can now construct a new false narrative on a dramatic scale… Artificial intelligence has contributors to disinformation,” says Gordon Krovitz of News Guard, who monitors fake news.
