✨New paper out @SpringerNature✨ For 8 weeks around the 2024 US election, we randomly assigned 2,000 people to use social media algos we custom-built. Do engagement-based algorithms amplify intergroup, moral & emotional content + does that distort how we see political norms? 🧵
New paper in Nature. The more a government controls its domestic media, the more it dominates AI training data, the more pro-regime outputs we get from AI. By scraping the open web, LLMs are unwittingly laundering state-coordinated narratives into seemingly objective answers.
📄 Excited to share our latest preprint: the first cross-field audit of LLM-hallucinated citations in science
⚠️ Across arXiv, bioRxiv, SSRN & PMC, we estimate 147K fake citations in 2025 alone — threatening both the quality and equity of scientific work.

🛩️ are heavier than air, but can fly faster than sound—remind you of another technology that "shouldn't" be able to work, but does?
Fascinating - Newton's gravity law turns out to be ... correct! largest scale validation. 3 centuries later, are we still doing Newton's homework for us?

Fantastic analysis from journal submission data. It is also encouraging to see key findings from our recent @ScienceMagazine paper on #AI impact on science — increased productivity, more complex scientific writing, and emerging quality concerns — echoed in this setting.
A belated self-promotion of our new paper in @PNASNexus. We ask how the interdisciplinarity of a supporting grant and that of the focal paper jointly shape the paper's scientific impact (https://t.co/lrQQ5qixnk). Much assumed, rarely tested; so we tested it at scale! (1/n)
🚨Bipartisan-cited science is rare, unevenly distributed, and disproportionately influential. 🚨
Check out our latest paper in PNAS, led by @zfurnas

Bipartisan-cited science thus highlights both the limits of science in bridging polarization and its potential to provide a shared evidentiary foundation for addressing pressing challenges.
Key Q going forward is how to improve the evidentiary basis for policymaking.
Can gen AI help? or make it much worse? Stay tuned for more!
