The UK has experienced its worst riots in over a decade. In a new article👇, I analyse the role of online misinformation. While many blame social media and call for increased regulation and censorship, this narrative is simplistic. I make five points: 1/11 conspicuouscognition.com/p/did-online-m…

🗞️ New piece in MIT Technology Review by Keegan McBride, Sacha Altay and me: We argue that AI’s current impact on elections is being overblown, and it's distracting us from deeper and long-lasting threats to democracy. Long version: technologyreview.com/2024/09/03/110… Short summary ⬇️

MIT Technology Review Keegan McBride Sacha Altay Democracy is under threat, but our obsession with AI’s supposed impacts could distract us from the more lasting problems that endanger democracies worldwide. As researchers, journalists, policymakers, and citizens we would do well to remember this.

"For some politicians, it can be easier to point fingers at AI than to face scrutiny or commit to improving democratic institutions that could hold them accountable. For others, attempting to “fix the technology” can seem more appealing than addressing [the] fundamental issues"⬇️
