How AI Swarms Could Make Social Media Intolerable | UnSpun Journal Club
Published 4 weeks ago
Description
In this UnSpun Journal Club episode, Dr Sturg looks at a recent paper on what malicious AI swarms could mean for democracy, public debate, and social media itself. They could borrow from the older playbook of harassment and sealioning, made worse as agentic AI systems can imitate people, flood conversations, and manufacture the appearance of consensus.
The question is not just whether AI can generate convincing content. It is whether it can reshape what people think is real.
Check out Dr. Sturg's book with tips on how you can spot fake news.
