Staggering number of people believe unproven health claims nature.com/articles/d4158…
Fantastic article (as always from @kakape) on the role of AI in disinformation as well as research on it. science.org/content/articl…
I'm briefly quoted in this long but important investigative piece about Storm-1516, the most potent weapon in Russia’s disinformation war. bloomberg.com/graphics/2026-…
AI is being used to generate fake MAGA users and content for political influence: nytimes.com/2026/04/17/bus…
Amazing work by @Mantzarlis at Indicator, finding the first evidence of Community Notes manipulation as predicted and described in our paper (cited within)! indicator.media/p/inside-a-pro…

Congratulations to my PhD student @Isuruari97 for his #WebSci26 paper. Thank you @OSoMe_IU Fil Menczer & Sandro Flammini for their valuable contributions. Behavior change can be used for identifying social media manipulation * arxiv.org/abs/2603.03128 * github.com/wm-newslab/beh…

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…
This story via @ConversationUS weaves together research done with @yang3kc Bao Tran Truong and several others: 🧪 Swarms of AI bots can sway people's beliefs – threatening democracy theconversation.com/swarms-of-ai-b…
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…
Latest working paper 🧪 w/ Shalmoli Ghosh and @mdeverna2 shows that AI porn and NSFW deepfakes targeting women are being commoditized A Marketplace for AI-Generated Adult Content and Deepfakes Preprint: doi.org/10.48550/arXiv…
🚨 New working paper 🚨 What happens when you add money + competition to generative AI creation? On Civitai—a prominent platform for gen-AI content/tools w. millions of users—you get a growing marketplace for NSFW requests and a nontrivial stream of deepfakes.

Coverage of our recent paper in @ScienceMagazine wired.com/story/ai-power…
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
