Definition
Misinformation refers to false or misleading information shared without the deliberate intent to cause harm or deceive. It differs from disinformation, which is intentionally fabricated.

Addressing misinformation is critical for maintaining trust in AI systems and ensuring ethical deployment, requiring robust fact-checking mechanisms and transparent sourcing in generated content.
