Is it acceptable to use AI to impersonate a candidate during an election and make it appear as though they did or said something they did not, without disclosing that the video is AI-generated or satire? news.bloomberglaw.com/litigation/haw…

Does health misinformation kill? Yes. Our latest paper is finally out with evidence of a causal link between exposure to antivax content on Xitter and deaths. Effects of antivaccine tweets on COVID-19 vaccinations, cases, and deaths link.springer.com/article/10.114…

Political disinfo on social media has overall negligible effects. I always wondered if such small effects, when targeting battleground states, could influence close elections. A new paper analyzing voter-suppression ads shows this was the case in 2016: doi.org/10.1073/pnas.2…

Our latest paper in @ScienceMagazine warns about malicious AI swarms, agents capable of adaptive influence campaigns at scale. We already observed some in the wild (picture). AI is a real threat to democracy. #SciencePolicyForum #ScienceResearch 🧪 Paper: doi.org/10.1126/scienc…

AI now allows propaganda campaigns to reach unprecedented scale and precision. Our new paper in @sciencemagazine Magazine explains how a disruptive threat is emerging: swarms of collaborative, malicious AI agents. We describe the potential risks and some interventions for this growing threat to organizations, institutions, and nations. This paper was led by @daniel_thilo & @JonasKunst22246 : science.org/doi/10.1126/sc…

2024-25 has been an academic year of challenges and opportunities. We have been working on exciting problems, from the exploitation of AI for manipulation at scale to tools for a healthier information environment. Read about it in our latest annual report: osome.iu.edu/research/blog/…

It represents the first detailed study of how a social platform transitions from being invitation-only to open to the public, with a focus on user activities and the evolution of the platform. With @ESahneh, @mdeverna2, @LucaLuceri, @OSoMe_IU, @frapi9 and Silvia Giordano.

🚨 New working paper 🚨 Can LLMs with reasoning + web search reliably fact-check political claims? We evaluated 15 models from OpenAI, Google, Meta, and DeepSeek on 6,000+ PolitiFact claims (2007–2024). Short answer: Not reliably—unless you give them curated evidence.
