The narrative of digital deception pervades the discourse on generative Artificial Intelligence (AI), opening important questions on the validity and verifiability of the information we come across daily. In this landscape, generative AI is now being extensively used to create engaging bots on social media which poses several threats to the fabric of trust and safety we as users expect over the internet. Today we sit with Sippo Rossi to unpack the nature of such problems, how we as users of social media can remain vigilant and its implications on future research on this topic.
Sippo Rossi is a postdoctoral researcher at the Department of Computer Science, University of Copenhagen. He is soon to graduate with his PhD from the Department of Digitalization at the Copenhagen Business School, and during his studies, he contributed to research on bot detection on X, formerly Twitter, and the use of AI in research.
