New study from our co-founders that tackles an important question about how persuasive info works at a large scale: when a message has a larger total persuasive effect, does it tend to be because it persuades more people (breadth), or is it because it persuades people more

I'm sure you've laid awake wondering this just like I do, so here you go ---> When treatment effects are higher, is it because more people were affected (breadth) or is it because people were affected more (depth)? Read about it here in our meta-analysis. šŸ‘‡

Does communicating uncertainties about science and technology help or hurt credibility? Is it better to project total confidence, or to openly discuss the caveats? We have good data to answer this. Let’s dive in!šŸ‘‡

We found something unexpected in our national survey data: familiarity with AI tools is not much different across education levels. It definitely decreases with age, but is unrelated to education. Usually, people with higher education are more likely to be early adopters of new

The Psychedelic Law and Policy Map is an incredible resource for the psychedelics community. This interactive tool tracks the proposed measures and actual changes in laws around psychedelics across the U.S. We can see what is changing (or what might change soon) when it comes to

There's this pattern known as "The AI Effect" or "Tesler's Theorem": people stop considering a technology to be AI as soon as it becomes commonplace. Or, as Larry Tesler put it, "Intelligence is whatever machines haven’t done yet." Our data illustrates this effect in action.

One of the surprising findings in our data was the size of the huge dropoff in crypto knowledge between current owners v.s. past owners. It's expected that current owners would report at least some higher familiarity than people who used to own. But our data show a significant

How can a survey of 1,000 people tell us what the nation thinks? At first glance it sounds like this is not enough people to really represent the millions of viewpoints. So let’s explain this by using some simple logic… and a pot of soup. Usually surveys study a ā€œsampleā€ out of

Data from the XandY Poll shows a majority of Americans support stronger regulations on AI. Across political affiliations, there is broad agreement that the government should play a role in setting limits on how AI is used and developed. In the figure below, we see there is
