Befragung von Expert*innen zur globalen Informationslandschaft 2024 Auf der Suche nach Lösungen

The 2024 IPIE expert survey indicates a growing pessimism about the global information landscape, with 63% of respondents expecting it to deteriorate. Experts identify the availability of reliable information and diversity of voices as essential for a healthy landscape, while naming social media platform owners and governments as the primary threats. Generative AI is viewed with mixed sentiment: while 67% hope it can improve content detection and journalism, 63% fear it will amplify biases, harassment, and misinformation. The report calls for support of independent media and improved data access for cross-platform, multidisciplinary research.

• There is a growing consensus among experts that the global information landscape is declining, with 63% of respondents expecting it to worsen in the future, an increase from 54% in the previous survey.
• The most critical characteristics of a healthy information landscape are the availability of reliable information (cited by 65% of experts), diversity of voices (42%), and diversity of media ownership (33%).
• Social media platform owners are identified as the greatest threat to the information landscape, followed closely by local, national, and foreign governments, politicians, and political parties.
• Experts hold conflicting views on generative AI: 63% believe AI-generated content will have negative effects and fear the amplification of biases, harassment, and misinformation, while 67% hope it will enhance content detection, journalism, and the persuasiveness of reliable information.
• Researchers in developing countries express greater concern regarding the negative impacts of generative AI and specific threats from messaging apps, social media apps, and national politicians compared to experts in industrialized countries, though they are more optimistic about the efficacy of media literacy and fact-checking.
• Significant barriers to researching the information landscape persist, with three-quarters of scientists citing data access as a major challenge; there is a call for more multidisciplinary, cross-platform, and multicultural research.
• To improve the information landscape, 77% of experts advocate for the support of free and independent media, alongside campaigns for digital media literacy, fact-checking, and content labeling.
