Happy to see our paper out on @SciReports! We introduce a statistical method for detecting coordination and apply it to Facebook, using 11.2 million link posts shared by 16k pages that discussed US politics in 2021.

Please read and share this excellent FAQ on University indirect costs by my friend @Broniatowski
He explains why these funds are essential and a critical investment for research in the United States.

NIH has just announced that it will cut $4 billion by capping university indirect costs on federal grants. Will this actually save money? Bottom line: No. It will cost a lot more than it saves and make our most talented scientists unable to compete globally.
Q: How would this affect jobs?
A: Universities might lay off research staff, reducing jobs in labs, IT, and administration. It could also slow job growth in industries that rely on university research, like healthcare, engineering, and cybersecurity.

Our new publication asking whether ChatGPT chatbots can reliably give advice to help people quit smoking? We examined chatbots including WHO's Sarah in providing assistance on quitting smoking @jmirpub @WHO @Broniatowski jmir.org/2025/1/e66896
🚨 New paper alert! 🚨
Ever wondered if AI chatbots actually follow public health guidelines when giving smoking cessation advice? 🤖🚭
Our latest study in J Med Internet Res evaluates ChatGPT-based chatbots on this! 🧵👇
📜 Paper: jmir.org/2025/1/e66896
7️⃣ So, what’s the takeaway?
🔹 Chatbots can be helpful, but they need better training.
🔹 WHO’s Sarah outperformed the others.
🔹 AI can easily be prompted to give weird advice. 😵💫
This project -- led by @lorien_a, in collaboration with @ArtinYousefi, Christina Wysota, and Tien-Chin Wu -- was supported by a @trails_ai seed grant.
Better AI can help people make more informed, healthier decisions! 🚭🤖
