Information Integrity
The Information Ecosystem in the Digital Age
Technological advances have revolutionized communications, connecting people on a previously unthinkable scale. They have supported communities in times of crisis, elevated marginalized voices and helped mobilize global movements for racial justice and gender equality.
Yet these same advances have enabled the spread of misinformation, disinformation and hate speech at an unprecedented volume, velocity and virality, risking the integrity of the information ecosystem.
New and escalating risks stemming from leaps in AI technologies have made strengthening information integrity one of the urgent tasks of our time.
This clear and present global threat demands coordinated international action.
The United Nations Global Principles for Information Integrity show us another future is possible.

Information Integrity Solutions Dialogue
One of a series of high-level events bringing together governments, UN entities, civil society, media, academia and the private sector to share practical solutions for strengthening the integrity of the information ecosystem and highlight how the UN Global Principles for Information Integrity are moving from principles to practice.
The latest Dialogue took place during UNGA81, bringing attention to the global information crisis and stressing the importance of collaboration, investment and locally grounded human rights-based solutions to information integrity risks.
Everyone should be able to express themselves freely without fear of attack. Everyone should be able to access a range of views and information sources.”
