Countering Disinformation in the Era of Generative AI
暫譯: 在生成式 AI 時代對抗虛假資訊

本書提供了一個及時且全面的探討，說明生成式人工智慧技術如何重塑線上虛假資訊的格局，顯著降低了大規模創建逼真合成文本、影像和音頻的門檻。雖然線上虛假資訊長期以來對社會和個人造成挑戰，但生成式人工智慧的加速發展使這些風險更加嚴重，傳統的檢測和保護措施變得越來越不足。為此，研究人員正在開發先進的人工智慧驅動工具和方法，以檢測、減輕和研究快速演變的虛假資訊運動策略，重點在於算法檢測、媒體驗證以及對資訊完整性的更廣泛影響。

《在生成式人工智慧時代對抗虛假資訊》匯集了領先的專家，展示了近期的濫用案例，例如在政治操控中的合成媒體和人工智慧生成的虛假敘事，以及最先進的對策，包括與媒體專業人士共同創建的可信人工智慧解決方案。本書深入探討了檢測虛假資訊和合成媒體的新興方法，以及分析線上資訊環境的技術。該書借鑒跨學科研究和大型計劃，如Horizon Europe的vera.ai項目，滿足各種利益相關者的需求——從研究人員和記者到政策制定者——不僅為專家提供技術深度，還提供了最新的人工智慧驅動虛假資訊防禦進展的可讀性概述。
