In today's world, issues arise pertaining to not only information overload but also an abundance of inaccurate information circulating in the communication field, which is difficult to verify for ordinary users. Various types of information are also employed as political tools that are generated, disseminated, and amplified either mis- or dis-information across borders using artificial intelligence. This situation is called information pollution.
