Fighting Digital Deception in Canada
According to Natalie Turvey of the Canadian Journalism Foundation, Canadians are facing a growing "truth crisis" due to AI-manipulated media and deepfakes on social media.
Research by the Canadian Journalism Foundation shows that digital deception has become a normal part of online experience, threatening informed citizenship and democracy. Key findings include:
- Over half of Canadians encounter misleading content regularly.
- Nearly half have seen deepfake or AI-manipulated material.
- 30% report finding false or manipulated information presented as legitimate news several times a week.
- 17% come across it daily.
Young Canadians are particularly affected, with nearly 60% of 18- to 34-year-olds exposed to deceptive content daily or weekly. Notably, 53% of Gen Z respondents claim they can spot AI-manipulated media.
Millions of Canadians scroll through their feeds daily, unsure what is real.
