I believe that the responsibility for spreading misinformation is in the hands of the users, social platforms, big tech corporations, and algorithms. It is known in society that we have lost control of algorithms, in the sense that computers have outsmarted us in a way.  Further, we may be able to create resources to decrease the comprehension of misinformation, but the process of the misinformation being spread at a vast pace because algorithms allow mass distribution of the misinformation.  The design of the algorithms in place on social media are not designed to cater to the well-being and state of humans, but rather more focused on the objective that the humans put in place for thew algorithm to complete. The issue is that we are unsure how exactly the computer achieves the desirable outcome. The algorithms lack of focus on the people allows room for the placement of media content with disregard of how it may affect the well-being of the people in the community that the media is relevant to. Further, computers are not people, and computers do not have empathy or emotion. This leads me to the idea that humans are not entirely responsible for misinformation, but that we must somehow implement more variables into the algorithms that can attempt to better reflect the emotions of humans in a positive and beneficial manner. We need to continue building the tools and resources we can through combatting misinformation through teaching society about media literacy.  Empathy is a vital concept that needs to be incorporated into AI, but experts struggle to find an efficient way for a computer to represent human emotion accurately. Computers and algorithms are supposed to emphasize the lives of living and breathing humans, so implementing empathy in AI is a crucial aspect we as a society need to address for the state of our future.
