The Generation and Governance of Fake News in the Context of Generative Artificial Intelligence

The rapid advancement of Generative Artificial Intelligence (Generative AI) technology has exerted a profound impact on various domains, including information dissemination and news production. However, the application of this technology in the generation of fake news has also led to issues such as information pollution and a crisis of public trust. Currently, the academic community has conducted extensive research on the role of Generative AI in the creation and propagation of fake news, encompassing multiple dimensions such as technological governance, legal regulation, and social governance. This paper will employ the Information Disorder Theory and the Multiple Streams Framework as theoretical lenses to explore the hierarchical operational mechanisms of fake news and its governance pathways in the context of Generative AI. This research not only deepens academic understanding but also provides significant references for practical governance efforts.
