If you are interested in doing high-impact, public-facing research ... Join Our Research Team! @SMLabTO is Hiring a Postdoctoral Research Fellow socialmedialab.ca/2026/03/04/p...
I have just started a new research project at the University of Bergen as part of the MSCA COFUND LEAD AI programme. Entitled 'F.A.C.T.' (Framing Authority and Critical Transparency in AI-Mediated Journalism), it will focus on AI-augmented search engines and their impact on journalism.
Among unethical reviewers are also those who expect authors to reshape a paper around how they themselves would have designed the study and who suggest several of their own papers as "essential" citations. This is completely unfair, but it sometimes happens.
Thousands of CEOs just admitted AI had no impact on employment or productivity—and it has economists resurrecting a paradox from 40 years ago fortune.com/2026/02/17/a...
I will always be amazed (and disappointed) by the way journalists treat all experts as if they were equal. They make no distinction between scientific experts whose research focuses on AI and self-proclaimed experts who spout nonsense...
Grammarly's new "Expert Review" tool uses AI to simulate feedback from famous authors and academics, including those who died decades ago. “These are not expert reviews, because there are no ‘experts’ involved in producing them,” says historian @ceaubin.com. www.wired.com/story/gramma...

Dierickx et al examine how generative AI challenges established categories of factuality. Using fact-checking as an epistemological lens, they introduce the concept of “emergent facts” to assess AI-generated claims.

“…according to a report from Sweden's Svenska Dagbladet released last week. Employees in Kenya doing AI "annotation" told the journalists that they've seen people nude, using the toilet and engaging in sexual activity, along with credit card numbers and other sensitive information.”

I'm part of both groups--please share with anyone who is interested!
General purpose tools like ChatGPT, Claude, and Grok are not designed for this use, making mental health professionals wary.
Thank you so much!
I am excited to announce that on 2 March I will begin a MSCA COFUND Fellowship at the University of Bergen as part of the LEAD AI programme in the Department of Information Science and Media Studies. My research project focuses on search engines as AI-mediated environments in journalism.

I was aware of the privacy issues on LinkedIn, but I didn't think it was this so serious and that the platform presented so many potential violations of the GDPR and the AI Act. thelocalstack.eu/posts/linked...
How do researchers, journalists & artists work with the Wayback Machine?
At a recent gathering in Amsterdam, we explored how web archives support digital investigations, platform research & media art — and how we can build better tools & collaborations.

(2) Although generative AI systems produce coherent and contextually plausible outputs, these are not necessarily grounded in empirical evidence or 'truth'. This calls into question traditional ideas about what constitutes a fact in computational contexts. That was our starting point.
🚨Publication alert! (1) I am delighted to present our latest study with my amazing colleagues from the University of Bergen: What is a fact in the age of generative AI? Fact-checking as an epistemological lens. 🧵
This paper was conceived and developed at the University of Bergen within the NORDIS Hub @nordishub.bsky.social - research was funded by EU CEF grant number 10115860 cc @edmo-eu.bsky.social
