Fabulous piece about the human tendency to believe stories rather than facts. Rooting out disinformation depends on identifying those underlying narratives.
In this case, researchers are training #AI to do this. But will that prevent disinformation - or just facilitate AI-enhanced disinformation?

The One Big Beautiful Bill Act would ban states from regulating AI
States couldn't enact consumer AI protections for 10 years, if the bill passes.
House passed a 10-year moratorium on state AI regulation, stripping states of power to protect citizens from emerging #AI harms. “WTF” if the only appropriate response to this.

Unfortunately, it’s also being used to amplify disinformation. That said, we’re fine fighting fire with fire.

Researchers Secretly Ran a Massive, Unauthorized AI Persuasion Experiment on Reddit Users
The researchers' bots generated identities as a sexual assault survivor, a trauma counselor, and a Black man opposed to Black Lives Matter.
A team of researchers quietly ran a large-scale experiment, seeding a popular subreddit with AI-powered bots to see if they could sway opinions on divisive topics. Spoiler: They did. The power of persuasion is being automated and #AI #Disinformation is effective.

Bluesky’s logo, a trusted verifier’s scalloped checkmark, and a standard verified blue check mark.
We’re introducing a new layer of verification on Bluesky — a user-friendly, easily recognizable blue check.
In addition to account verification issued by Bluesky, we're also introducing Trusted Verifiers. Select independent organizations can verify accounts directly.

We think part of the solution is verifying human/organization authenticity at the account level and defaulting non-authentic accounts out of algorithmic suggestions. This can be done while preserving anonymity and protecting marginalized groups, protecting free speech.

Next time an anonymous comment gets you #triggered, remember that this is the face of modern #disinformation. AI-powered bot farms don’t take sides — they inflame both to drive engagement, divide, and destabilize. Stay sharp and informed. #AI #BotFarms #AIManipulation

Yesterday on BBC News, AI Decoded I spoke about disinformation and the growing threat of falsifying reality using AI during humanitarian disasters, upheavals, protests and rebellions - to create fictional narratives for influence. The risk of subversion.

Trying to stop mis/disinformation at the content level is a losing battle—TTPs adapt too fast. We believe guaranteeing human authenticity at the account level (without sacrificing anonymity) and providing algorithmic choice are the big components of a solution. Both are possible, and it’s time.
