Information Integrity

The spectrum of information and associated patterns of its creation, exchange, and consumption in society.

High-integrity information can be trusted. It distinguishes fact from fiction, opinion, and inference; acknowledges uncertainties; and is transparent about its level of vetting. It can be linked to original sources with appropriate evidence. High-integrity information is accurate and reliable, can be verified and authenticated, has a clear chain of custody, and creates reasonable expectations about when its validity may expire.

The concept becomes critical in GAI contexts because generative systems can ease production of both misinformation (unintentional falsehoods) and disinformation (deliberate deception) at unprecedented scale.
