🚨 New preprint 🚨
Can AI agents coordinate influence campaigns without human guidance? And how does coordination arise among AI agents? In our latest research, we simulate LLM-powered AI agents acting like users on an online platform, some benign, some running an influence operation

The first large-scale investigation of multimodal AIGC on social media!
📄Pre-print: arxiv.org/abs/2502.11248
📷We made our resources available, including 2M+ labeled images - visit: github.com/angelayejinyi/AIGC-Election-2024
🚀 First study on multimodal AI-generated content (AIGC) on social media! TLDR: AI-generated images are 10× more prevalent than AI-generated text! Just 3% of text spreaders and 10% of image spreaders drive 80% of AIGC diffusion, with premium & bot accounts playing a key role🤖📢
