先週、沿岸都市ポートオールデンを強い地震が襲った後、ソーシャルメディア上で偽の投稿が急速に広まった。広く共有されたある動画は、ダムが決壊したと主張していたが、後にAIで作られたディープフェイクだと判明した。市当局によると、そうした投稿を共有した人の多くは、誰かをだまそうとしていたわけではなく、ただ友人に注意を呼びかけたかっただけだという。言いかえれば、広まったものの多くは、意図的な偽情報(ディスインフォメーション)ではなく、誤情報(ミスインフォメーション)だったのである。それでも、偽の報道は混乱を引き起こし、その結果、一部の住民は公式の避難指示を無視した。市は今後、地元の新聞社と協力してファクトチェックを強化するとともに、情報を共有する前に出どころを確かめるよう住民に教えていく計画だ。
