Utafiti wa Wataalamu kuhusu Mazingira ya Taarifa za Kimataifa 2023

The IPIE 2023 expert survey of 289 researchers reveals that accurate information and diversity of voices are the most critical elements of a healthy information environment. Social media platforms and politicians are identified as the primary threats globally, though specific concerns vary by regime type: experts in autocracies highlight state-led media and local governments, while those in democracies emphasize foreign interference and climate misinformation. A significant majority of researchers (72%) cite a lack of system data access as a major barrier to understanding the global information environment, and 54% predict the situation will worsen in 2024.

• Experts identify access to accurate information and a diversity of voices as the most essential components of a healthy information environment, with 66% highlighting accurate information and 50% valuing diversity of voices.
• Social media platforms and politicians are viewed as the most significant threats to the global information environment across all regime types, with 33% of experts identifying social media and 31% identifying politicians as top threats in democratic countries.
• Threat perceptions differ by political regime: experts studying autocracies identify national governments, state-supported media, and local government news agencies as primary threats, whereas those studying democracies are more concerned with foreign interference.
• There is a divergence in the types of misinformation that concern experts based on the regime they study; those in autocracies worry about gender-related misinformation, while those in democracies are more concerned with misinformation regarding climate science and the environment.
• Significant concerns exist regarding content moderation, specifically the inability to hold social media companies accountable (66%) and poorly designed AI-driven content moderation systems (55%).
• A lack of access to system data is a major obstacle for the global research community, cited by 72% of experts as a significant barrier to improving the understanding of the global information environment.
• The majority of experts (54%) believe the information environment in their professional countries of study will deteriorate in 2024, while only 12% believe it will improve.
