Reliable information underpins economies, institutions and societies, yet the systems that sustain it are undergoing transformation. Generative artificial intelligence, algorithmic curation, declining institutional trust and shifting media economics are reshaping how information is created, consumed and distributed. These changes are increasing the scale and complexity of manipulation, weakening trust and challenging the foundations of a reliable information ecosystem.
The Future of Information Integrity: Charting a Global Path in a Fragmented World examines information integrity as a systemic challenge across four interconnected layers: creation, consumption, design and distribution, and ecosystem incentives. Through illustrative case studies, potential interventions and future horizons, the report explores how to potentially strengthen the conditions that enable trustworthy information.
The report emphasizes the need for coordinated action across governments, industry, media and civil society to build an information ecosystem that preserves openness, supports human agency and ensures reliable information remains accessible, diverse and sustainable.
