As elections unfold in both the NL and FR, use our updated Human Guide for AI Detection to make sense of the information around you. 🔎 Meanwhile, we’ll be monitoring TikTok to examine whose voices are amplified, if disinformation is spreading, and how GenAI is shaping what people see. Stay tuned!

Navigating between AI and non-AI content is becoming increasingly difficult. At @aiforensics.org we may not offer a magic formula but we can offer some tools. Today, we’re publishing an updated version of The Human Guide to Detecting AI Imagery, building on our continued work on AI-generated content

Really enjoyed this paper by @nataliastanusch.bsky.social and Richard Rogers. Their term 'techno-hagiography' (performative writing of a mythology of AI and its spokespeople) and its relationship to temporarily is apt to describe future-making in the present. journals.sagepub.com/doi/10.1177/...

🔹 Our Head of Research, Salvatore Romano, spoke on “Scraping, APIs, and Access to Platform Data.” Drawing on our TikTok Research API investigation, he showed how unreliable or error-prone APIs can obstruct independent research—often pushing researchers back to scraping.

🔍 As the EU calls for “simplification,” our year-long study of LLM chatbots shows a growing regulatory gap. LLMs like ChatGPT and Gemini increasingly act like search engines. But do they fall under the DSA, the AI Act, or somewhere in between?
