Risk management - World Economic Forum (WEF) - Global Risks Report - global risk - other risks.

Misinformation is an unintentionally false statement, or other unintentionally false information.

Among other causes, misinformation can result from repeating rumours or other information without checking them adequately.


Explosion in falsified information and synthetic content
"Misinformation and disinformation is a new leader of the top 10 [global risk] rankings this year.
