The Konrad Adenauer Stiftung (KAS) has cautioned against the rampant spread of misinformation and disinformation in national and socio-economic discourse, particularly in the age of social media and AI.
The group, therefore, urged stakeholders to intensify public sensitisation, cross-check facts, and differentiate between opinions and factual information before sharing content.
The KAS Country Director, Ms Anna Lena Sabroso-Wasserfall, said failure to do so could contribute to the growing problem of misinformation, disinformation, and malinformation.
She was speaking at a breakfast meeting organised by KAS in Accra to address the challenge of misinformation, disinformation, and their impact on security and democracy in West Africa.
