Generative AI misinformation concerns the creation and dissemination of synthetic media—such as hyperrealistic deepfake images, videos, and voices—used to deceive, manipulate, or exploit individuals and publics. Work in this area examines AI-enabled impersonation, political and commercial disinformation, scams, and non-consensual explicit content, as well as their psychological and societal impacts. It also investigates technical and sociotechnical defenses, including detection models, watermarking and provenance systems, security against data poisoning and backdoors, and human-centered interventions to preserve trust and information integrity.
