PhD Project: Generation AI: Addressing Misinformation Challenges in the Generative AI Era - Amsterdam, Nederland - Universiteit van Amsterdam
Beschrijving
What are you going to do
Misinformation and disinformation are widely seen as big societal threats, both in the Netherlands and beyond. These threats call for more research and for new solutions to make citizens and societal groups more resilient against mis- and disinformation. This is why the Department of Communication Science at the University of Amsterdam has launched a new initiative focusing on the causes, content, consequences, and counterstrategies against mis- and disinformation in our digital society.
This PhD project is part of this initiative and will specifically address the topic of misinformation in relation to youth and generative AI.
Generative AI poses a significant threat to our media and communication landscape by facilitating the widespread creation and dissemination of synthetic content at minimal cost. Of particular concern are young individuals, who are disproportionately affected by the opportunities and challenges presented in this digital realm. Their heavy reliance on social platforms, which increasingly incorporate generative AI tools, increases the likelihood that they are exposed to generative AI in their daily life. Moreover, they are still developing the critical thinking skills needed for resilience in this space, leaving them particularly vulnerable to the creation, sharing, and ill-effects of misinformation. Despite this susceptibility, research on misinformation has largely overlooked the experiences of youth, while at the same time, the understanding of generative AI remains in its infancy. To address this gap, this project aims to: investigate how adolescents (aged perceive and navigate (the risks and benefits of) generative AI within the context of misinformation; identify indicators of adolescents' susceptibility to the negative impacts of AI-generated misinformation; and co-create and experimentally evaluate a generative AI competency intervention designed with, and specifically for, adolescents. In doing so, Project Generation AI will shed light on the perceptions and experiences of generative AI among adolescents, a demographic often overlooked; will provide insight into which adolescents are more susceptible (and which are more resilient) to the adverse effects of AI-generated misinformation; and lastly, delivers a scalable intervention designed to bolster the resilience of susceptible adolescents against AI-generated misinformation.
Methods used in the project include qualitative interviews, surveys, co-creation, and experimentation. The PhD Candidate will write a paper-based dissertation and strive to publish the results of individual sub-studies in important journals in the field of communication science.
The project will be supervised by dr. Tom Dobber, dr. Hande Sungur, dr. Hilde Voorveld, and prof. Dr. Jessica Piotrowski
