Beyond Seeing Is Believing: On Crowdsourced Detection of Audiovisual Deepfakes

Researchers conducted crowdsourcing studies to evaluate human ability to detect audiovisual deepfakes, finding that while crowd workers rarely misidentify authentic videos as manipulated, they miss many actual manipulations and struggle significantly with identifying manipulation types. The study reveals that crowdsourcing can serve as a scalable screening mechanism for authenticity verification, but reliable modality attribution remains unresolved.

The TEA Nets framework combines AI and cognitive network science to model targets, events and actors in text

Researchers introduce TEA Nets (Target-Event-Agent Networks), an open-source AI framework that extracts subjects, verbs, and objects from text to analyze emotional and semantic patterns. Testing across conspiracy narratives and psychotherapy transcripts reveals that highly conspiratorial texts link personal pronouns to actions twice as frequently as low-conspiracy texts, while LLMs express emotions with measurably lower intensity than humans.

Overstating Attitudes, Ignoring Networks: LLM Biases in Simulating Misinformation Susceptibility

Researchers found that large language models fail to accurately simulate human susceptibility to misinformation, consistently overstating how attitudes drive belief and sharing while ignoring social network effects. The study reveals systematic biases in how LLMs represent misinformation concepts, suggesting they are better tools for identifying where AI diverges from human judgment rather than replacing human survey responses.
