The United Nations migration chief has cautioned that false information surrounding migration is gaining momentum worldwide, with artificial intelligence increasingly contributing to its spread. This trend is heightening public anxiety, encouraging hostility towards migrants, and weakening confidence in how countries handle migration, according to the UN.
The warning underscores the growing role of AI in amplifying misinformation, which can distort public perception and policy responses.

The UN's intervention signals a call for coordinated international action to counter these threats while preserving the benefits of AI innovation.
