The World Economic Forum’s 2024 Global Risk Report has suggested that disinformation and misinformation are more severe short-term risks for a two-year period as compared to extreme weather events or lack of economic opportunity. And India is on top of the list of countries with the highest risk of misinformation and disinformation, according to the report.
The annual report, released earlier this month, is based on the Global Risk Perception Survey conducted by the forum and its partner institutes among 1,500 experts in academia, business, and government.
