AI Responsible for 18% of Misinformation in Europe
Reports from the European Digital Media Observatory (EDMO) network indicate that the use of artificial intelligence in creating misleading content in Europe increased to 18% of fact-checking materials in July 2026, nearly reaching its highest levels since the beginning of the year. Thirty fact-checking organizations in the European Union and Norway identified 1,397 items, of which 253 involved the use of AI tools to deceive or manipulate information, focusing on political figures and identity issues. This upward trend enhances the capability of AI tools to produce false content quickly and at lower costs, which increases its proliferation and impact on public discourse across Europe.
