My team's work is this article on #AI in the New York Times this morning:
“Disinformation actors are, by definition, early adopters — they will use every technique and every technology they can,” said Tim Chambers, who runs the digital and social media arm of Dewey Square Group...The firm has been helping clients audit their websites to see how accessible they are to chatbot scrapers..."

@tchambers thank’s for sharing.
I don't think it's right to say Right wing disinformation actors are early adopters or AI, they are the whole point. That's why AI is happening. There is no business model.
"Mr. Chambers said that his clients were thinking about “needing to rebuild their websites for machines as much as for humans,” and considering how to show up in chatbot queries posed in multiple languages." (3 of 3)
@tchambers
let me complete the paragraph:
"… while at the same time left-leaning counterparts and media platforms with high factuiality tend to block A.I. scrapers altogether"
am i right?
@mayly Yes. Here is the full report: https://www.psgconsulting.com/research-publications/potential-risks-of-ideological-skewing
"...in research published in February, Dewey found that far-right sites and sites with “very low” factual integrity had set up their websites to be easily seen by A.I. tools, compared with outlets that were center-left or highly factual." (2 of 3)
@tchambers We've recently discovered AI tools in our business and honestly it's like obtaining a super power. However I can't help but think what that super power could do in the hands of bad actors. Guard rails don't seem to be enough as in this AI arms race new more powerful models seem to be released on an almost weekly basis.
