The Globe and Mail reports in its Thursday, Oct. 30, edition that a new national survey by the Canadian Journalism Foundation reveals that nearly 90 per cent of Canadians are concerned about deceptive on-line content generated by artificial intelligence, with almost half encountering misleading information daily or several times a week. The Globe's Samantha Edwards writes that the survey, conducted by Harris Poll Canada on Oct. 21, indicates that while all age groups are worried, younger Canadians report the most frequent exposure to false content. The rise of generative AI tools like ChatGPT and Midjourney has fuelled the spread of hyper-realistic AI-generated images, videos and text. With unclear social media labelling rules, users must discern real from fake information themselves. The CJF findings echo previous surveys on Canadians' views on misinformation. CJF director Natalie Turvey says we need to "have some accountability on on-line advertising." The CJF survey found that 75 per cent of respondents trust traditional Canadian news outlets, with 31 per cent expressing complete trust. In contrast, only 27 per cent trust social media platforms, even as Canadians increasingly turn to social media for news.
