The escalating misuse of Artificial Intelligence (AI) in Papua New Guinea has emerged as a critical issue demanding immediate attention, threatening the integrity of the nation's digital ecosystem.

As AI-generated content becomes more prevalent, it presents substantial risks to human creativity and the trustworthiness of information.
