6/ Our study raises important questions about how LLMs handle politically sensitive topics across languages—and what this means for truth and bias in an increasingly AI-moderated world. #AI #ChatGPT #GPT #LLMs #LLM #Bias #Censorship

Excited to share our new pub in @SciReports with coauthor Yinxian Zhang! The growing popularity of ChatGPT & LLMs has raised questions about their biases. Most research has focused on English-trained models, but what happens when we look across languages?👇https://t.co/VU6gnEYNoA

5/ In an era of rising polarization, these biases could further distort information flows between languages and cultures. Understanding how AI can reproduce and magnify political disagreement is crucial as LLMs become more central to global communication.

A new, interesting paper by my friend, @yizhang_zhao! It examines health trajectories of rural and urban residents in China, and finds that the accumulation of (dis)advantages is facilitated by *structural factors* such as inequality in income&healthcare: https://t.co/23m1CbcDG0

[Yizhang Zhao @yizhang_zhao]

Many thanks to @JofHSB! My new study shows the health gap between high and low SES groups does not NECESSARILY widen with age. In a more equalized social context, the cumulative effect is almost negligible, and it is only in a more polarized context that a widening gap emerges.

**Big** thanks to my instructors and paper advisor! (Sorry for the typo!)

Hi world! I'm excited to introduce my article just published in ASR that examines key predictors in theories of cultural power using computational methods. Bit thanks to my NYU Research and Writing instructors Prof. Iddo Tavory, @EnglandPaula, and my paper advisor @carlyrknight1!

[Paula England @EnglandPaula]

Proud of NYU doc student, Di Zhou. Her big data analysis of Chinese netizens posts about US politics answers questions about how ideas "catch on." Just out in ASR. She's a big success of the "how to write an article" class Iddo Tavory and I taught at NYU. https://t.co/AXYI3xg88H
