🧵@jevinwest and I recently wrote a commentary: "Search engines post-#ChatGPT: How generative artificial intelligence could make search less reliable." We discuss 6 critical issues as search engines transition from "helping" you find the answer to "answering" your question.
"The capacity to purchase citations in bulk is a new and worrying development." My latest story—about a research team that went "undercover" to buy citations for a fictional scientist. @ScienceMagazine #AcademicChatter science.org/content/articl…
.@nyuniversity #researchers Hazem Ibrahim, @McLiu98, @YasirZaki82, @talalrahwan @NYUAbuDhabi created a @GoogleScholar account for a fake author and identified instances in which citations were purchased for fake papers from a third-party #service. bit.ly/48eqHqP
Google Scholar is manipulatable! We went undercover, and managed to buy citations in bulk! Check out the media coverage of our study by @ScienceMagazine

🕵️♂️ Investigating further, we expose instances of citation manipulation where authors buy bulk citations from third-party services. Our undercover fictional author successfully purchased 50 citations, uncovering a network of authors engaging in this deceptive practice.

People are unable to recognize the aspects of the data that reveal their private information to attribute-inference algorithms. These findings highlight the need for algorithmic support to protect private in the age of AI. Our paper is out @SciReports nature.com/articles/s4159…

Interesting paper by large group of NYU Abu Dhabi faculty on ChatGPT use by students. Says ChatGPT often does as well as students, and current detection tools make lots of misclassifications both ways. Discusses student and faculty attitudes as well.

New paper 🚨 Excited to share our paper evaluating the performance of ChatGPT in university assessments published in @SciReports! This paper is the result of a massive collaboration of 33 @NYUAbuDhabi faculty members led by @YasirZaki82 @talalrahwan, and first author @hazemibr_
We evaluated #ChatGPT across 32 university courses; its comparable, if not superior, to students in 1/3 of courses. Surveyed students across 5 countries plan to use it to solve homework. Educators can no longer ignore AI. @scir @NYUAbuDhabi @YasirZaki82 rdcu.be/dkjP8
ChatGPT outperforms students in some university courses, but perhaps not in exams that require critical analysis. newscientist.com/article/238878…
A quarter of adults in the United States watch political videos on YouTube. A study finds that the site’s recommendation algorithm tends to pull viewers away from political extremes, and especially away from far-right content. In PNAS: ow.ly/J5VX50PCxnr
YouTube's recommendation algorithm pulls users away from political extremes, but users are pulled away from Far Right content stronger than from Far Left. the recommendations made by the algorithm skew left even when the user does not have a watch history academic.oup.com/pnasnexus/arti…

@ScienceMagazine @NYUAbuDhabi @talalrahwan The study suggests some researchers are using tactics similar to those employed by the NYUAD team to boost their citation rankings. “The evidence they show in this paper is pretty strong,” says Naoki Masuda, an applied mathematician at the University at Buffalo.
@ScienceMagazine @NYUAbuDhabi @talalrahwan Bernhard Sabel, a neuropsychologist at Otto von Guericke University Magdeburg who studied paper mills, says the academic community should be “very concerned” about these kinds of manipulations. “The problem is big, and it has been growing fast in the last 10-15 years”.
@ScienceMagazine @NYUAbuDhabi @talalrahwan “The capacity to purchase citations in bulk is a new and worrying development,” says Jennifer Byrne, a cancer researcher at the University of Sydney who has studied problematic publications in the biomedical literature.
