验证危机：专家如何看待 GenAI 虚假信息与可复现溯源的必要性
The Verification Crisis: Expert Perceptions of GenAI Disinformation and the Case for Reproducible Provenance
AI 导读
一项针对 AI 研究者、政策制定者和虚假信息专家的纵向专家调查（N=21）第一波结果显示，深度伪造视频冲击力大，而大规模文本生成带来“认知碎片化”与“合成共识”的系统性风险，政治领域尤为突出。专家对技术检测工具持怀疑态度，更倾向溯源标准和监管框架。论文提出将信息完整性视为基础设施，强调数据溯源与方法可复现性，并指出缺乏标准化基准是当前核心难题。

Abstract:The growth of Generative Artificial Intelligence (GenAI) has shifted disinformation production from manual fabrication to automated, large-scale manipulation. This article presents findings from the first wave of a longitudinal expert perception survey (N=21) involving AI researchers, policymakers, and disinformation specialists. It examines the perceived severity of multimodal threats -- text, image, audio, and video -- and evaluates current mitigation strategies. Results indicate that while deepfake video presents immediate "shock" value, large-scale text generation poses a systemic risk of "epistemic fragmentation" and "synthetic consensus," particularly in the political domain. The survey reveals skepticism about technical detection tools, with experts favoring provenance standards and regulatory frameworks despite implementation barriers. GenAI disinformation research requires reproducible methods. The current challenge is measurement: without standardized benchmarks and reproducibility checklists, tracking or countering synthetic media remains difficult. We propose treating information integrity as an infrastructure with rigor in data provenance and methodological reproducibility.
