## Summary

Skyword, a content marketing firm, argues that AI-driven disinformation—whether deliberate or accidental—poses a growing threat to brand reputations. A SparkToro study found that 68% of U.S. Google searches from January to April 2026 ended without clicks, while Skyword’s survey of 1,000 U.S. adults revealed that 46% of employed Americans have made major purchases or decisions based on AI-generated information. Meanwhile, 47% avoided purchases due to AI-generated brand claims, highlighting the risk of first impressions being shaped by inaccurate AI responses.

Skyword proposes an enterprise-wide approach to combat this issue, drawing parallels to cybersecurity. The company advocates for dedicated leadership, cross-departmental coordination, and a structured framework—including verified source information, AI monitoring, consistent company data, and a defined response process—to address inaccuracies. Gartner predicts that 50% of enterprises will invest in disinformation security by 2027, and Skyword’s framework aims to help brands build trust by ensuring their distinctive expertise is clear, verifiable, and up-to-date.

## Key points

- Skyword says 46% of U.S. workers made major decisions based on AI-generated brand info in 2026
- Gartner forecasts 50% of enterprises will invest in disinformation security by 2027
- Skyword’s framework requires verified sources, AI monitoring, and cross-departmental response teams

## Why it matters

Brands risk reputational damage if AI systems misrepresent them, yet most lack systems to verify or correct inaccuracies. Skyword’s framework offers a structured approach to mitigate this risk, urging enterprises to treat AI-driven misinformation as a strategic priority.
