The Conversation: 41% of surveyed Australian teens now get their news from AI: new research. “Since 2017, we have been tracking young people’s media engagement, to understand how they get their news. This time, we found some young people are bypassing traditional outlets, reducing their use of social media sources and getting their news from artificial intelligence (AI) summaries using […]

NPR: We tested how AI chatbots would handle foreign propaganda. They did surprisingly well. “Since AI chatbots exploded in popularity and Google started offering AI-generated answers, people who research foreign influence campaigns have expressed concern that some governments may poison AI-generated answers with false narratives. But an experiment NPR conducted with NewsGuard, a company that […]

Cornell Chronicle: Cornell expands AI Critical Literacy Program for incoming students. “After a successful pilot launch in the spring, Cornell’s AI Critical Literacy Program will be offered in the fall to all incoming students as well as other interested students, faculty members and staff. The expanded program will feature four modules – ‘What is Generative AI?’; ‘Ethical Questions […]

The Conversation: Meta‑backed research finds exposure to ‘untrustworthy’ social media is rare. The fine print is less reassuring. “A new study published today in Science Advances offers the most rigorous answers yet. It comes from a collaboration between Meta and academic researchers who studied the 2020 United States election. It was run from inside the machine – on the live feeds of […]

Union of Concerned Scientists: Your Anti-Disinformation Safety Chain for Danger Season. “We’re now officially in Danger Season 2026—the period between May and October when North America experiences its worst climate impacts—and we should expect disinformation to ramp up on social media and other platforms. It’s the time when maintaining what I call the ‘safety chain’ matters most.”

PsyPost: New research suggests truth has a natural competitive edge over misinformation. “Truthful messages are more persuasive and more likely to be shared than false ones, according to new research published in the Journal of Personality and Social Psychology. The findings, drawn from four large experiments, challenge the widespread belief that misinformation naturally spreads more […]

Poynter: As tech giants retreat, Africa’s fact-checkers are finding new ways to survive. “The platforms that once sponsored fact-checking projects and previous Africa Facts Summits, including Google and Meta, were nowhere to be seen, just as they were absent from IFCN’s GlobalFact conference in Rio last June.
