YouTube can always improve its work to combat misinformation, chief executive officer Susan Wojcicki said, touting the company’s progress over the past six years – even as falsehoods about the Covid-19 pandemic and elections have surged on the platform.
“There will always be incentives for people to be creating misinformation,” Wojcicki said Tuesday at the World Economic Forum in Davos, where she touched on everything from the war in Ukraine to her views on Roe v. Wade. “The challenge will be to keep staying ahead of that and making sure that we are understanding what they are.”
