#NPR and #NewsGuard tested how #AIchatbots and #searchengines handle #falsenarratives spread by #China, #Iran, and #Russia. The experiment found that AI chatbots generally performed better than search engines, debunking false narratives about three-quarters of the time. However, AI summaries at the top of search engine results were less reliable, with varying performance across different products. https://www.npr.org/2026/08/30/nx-s1-5876436/chatbots-search-propaganda?eicker.news #tech #news #ainews

"Last May, Trump’s FTC launched an investigation of NewsGuard, ordering the company to hand over the names of all its clients, virtually every document and communication it has ever produced related to its news ratings, and all of its financial reports since the time of its founding, the company alleges. Then, before approving a $13 billion merger that created the world’s largest ad agency, the FTC included an order that effectively blocks the newly formed goliath from ever doing business with companies like NewsGuard.

In a lawsuit filed Friday with the U.S. District Court in Washington, NewsGuard argues these moves are already affecting its business — ruling out a potentially lucrative client and scaring other customers away.

NewsGuard argues that the FTC embarked on a targeted regulatory campaign it likened to “the witch hunts of the McCarthy era,” violating its First and Fourth Amendment rights. While the FTC is tasked with enforcing fair business practices, NewsGuard’s lawsuit alleges that under Trump-appointed Chairman Andrew Ferguson the agency is “brazenly using its power not for any issue concerning trade or commerce, but rather to censor speech.”

"What’s happening: Social media users are spreading AI-produced and otherwise manipulated images linking prominent politicians, including New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani and former South Carolina governor Nikki Haley, to convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein. NewsGuard has so far identified seven such images that collectively have garnered more than 21.2 million views on X alone.

#FakeNews raddoppiate con l’uso dell’intelligenza artificiale.

Il tasso di false informazioni è quasi raddoppiato in un anno con l’#IntelligenzaArtificiale e i #chatbot, passando dal 18% al 35%.
A lanciare l’allarme è #NewsGuard, la piattaforma internazionale che si occupa di disinformazione online, e che definisce l’aumento “strutturale”.

L'étude de #Newsguard -->

A well-funded Moscow-based global ‘news’ network has infected Western artificial intelligence tools worldwide with Russian #propaganda.

« These websites typically have generic names, such as iBusiness Day, Ireland Top News, and Daily Time Update, which to a consumer appear to be established news sites. This obscures that the sites operate with little to no human oversight and publish articles written largely or entirely by bots (..) » #IA #AI

〝Offering opinions as to news sites’ credibility, as NewsGuard does, “is emphatically speech […] For Carr to write to the platforms and basically threaten them that if they utilize this protected expression he’s going to go after them is just First Amendment problem upon First Amendment problem”〞

"Newsmax and OANN have the right to criticize NewsGuard, and they exercise that right vehemently. What they should not be able to do is enlist our government to help them.

#NewsGuard rates news sites’ credibility. The right wants it stopped.
NewsGuard, which prizes its nonpartisan criteria, has become a prime target of the GOP’s battle against disinformation watchdogs.

NewsGuard offers advertisers nonpartisan assessments of online publishers using a slate of nine standard criteria, such as whether a site corrects errors or discloses its ownership and financing, to produce a zero to 100 percent rating.
