TLDR : A survey of the opportunities (can we utilize LLMs to combat misinformation) and challenges (how to combat LLM-generated misinformation) of combating misinformation in the age of LLMs.We will maintain this list of papers and related resources for the initiative "LLMs Meet Misinformation", which aims to combat misinformation in the age of LLMs. We greatly appreciate any contributions via issues, PRs, emails or other methods if you have a paper or are aware of relevant research that should be incorporated.
More resources on "LLMs Meet Misinformation" are on the website: https://llm-misinformation.github.io/
Any suggestion, comment or related discussion is welcome. Correspondence to: Kai Shu (kai.shu@emory.edu)

Misinformation such as fake news and rumors is a serious threat to information ecosystems and public trust. The emergence of Large Language Models (LLMs) has great potential to reshape the landscape of combating misinformation. Generally, LLMs can be a double-edged sword in the fight. On the one hand, LLMs bring promising opportunities for combating misinformation due to their profound world knowledge and strong reasoning abilities. Thus, one emergent question is: can we utilize LLMs to combat misinformation? On the other hand, the critical challenge is that LLMs can be easily leveraged to generate deceptive misinformation at scale. Then, another important question is: how to combat LLM-generated misinformation? In this paper, we first systematically review the history of combating misinformation before the advent of LLMs. Then we illustrate the current efforts and present an outlook for these two fundamental questions respectively. The goal of this survey paper is to facilitate the progress of utilizing LLMs for fighting misinformation and call for interdisciplinary efforts from different stakeholders for combating LLM-generated misinformation.
