Happy 2025! @cuihua and I are happy to announce new forum piece in @polcommjournal where we argue for a need to focus more on visual content when trying to understand the causes and manifestations of political polarization.

🚨New paper out in @JhcOffice Combining a large-scale survey with an extensive #COVID media archive in five countries, we show that fear in headlines boosts our sense of risk, but can actually reduce how often we follow preventive measures. A quick read: tandfonline.com/doi/full/10.10…

Just published in @Nature! Research by @GoogleDeepMind including Nobel Laureate @demishassabis introduces a novel technique for reliably identifying LLM-generated content. At its core, this approach subtly alters the next-token sampling process to introduce minor adjustments into the distribution of generated text. These slight modifications embed a “signature” in the LLM-generated text that would be nearly invisible to a human reader but detectable using specific statistical tools. A major advantage of this method is its efficiency: detection doesn’t require resource-intensive computations or direct access to the underlying LLM, which is often proprietary.

Sadly, we still default to granting more respect to men than women. 8 studies: we're >2x as likely to call male politicians, athletes, teachers, and authors by their last names. It matters: surnames signal higher status. It's long past time to use consistent standards.

63 algorithmic interventions designed to make #Facebook temporarily provide less polarizing and more reliable content likely distorted the data sets that @Meta fed to academic researchers and helped get publish with Meta employees as co-authors. #elettersSection" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">science.org/doi/10.1126/sc…

Happy to see that our CMMC lab's student-initiated project has turned into something concrete👏 We study how social media users produce #AI generated visuals. We examine the themes and styles of this emerging genre, and its potential for misuse in spreading #misinformation.

Take it from the people who worked for him: Donald Trump is a danger to our troops, our security, and our democracy. He should never again stand behind the seal of the President of the United States. Watch our new ad:
