Research question
How should Ghana respond to AI-generated misinformation without collapsing legitimate commentary, satire, journalism and political criticism into the same category?
The argument
Disclosure duties for synthetic media are useful, but regulation alone is insufficient. A credible framework also needs platform governance, content authentication, independent journalism and media literacy, with clear protection for lawful expression.
Approach
Legal analysis of Ghanaian communications and cybersecurity law, comparison with the EU AI Act, and research on misinformation, trust and media literacy.
Why it matters
Election integrity, journalism, platform policy, synthetic-media governance and public trust.
