Description
The proliferation of misinformation has known detrimental impacts on individuals, organizations, and society. The use of social media further aggravates misinformation spread across broad sectors of populations. The quality of misinformation has also improved over recent years, making it difficult for various Artificial Intelligence (AI) based detection techniques to differentiate the truth from the fake. There is a dearth of systematic literature reviews on this topic. This survey study conducts a comprehensive examination of recent work done on misinformation to synthesize four themes where recent research on misinformation has been evolving: (1) spread of misinformation, (2) impacts of misinformation, (3) misinformation detection, and (4) mitigation of misinformation. This effort serves to provide guidance for researchers in pursuing this important line of research on developing improved models and analytics approaches that help mitigate the impact of misinformation.
