🚨 NEW PAPER 🚨
@PrathmJ and @Floridi analyze whether Twitter can be used to detect relative reports of polling place issues on U.S. election days.

The great problem with LLMs for tons of important public & private sector use cases is hallucination. We won’t solve that anytime soon, but this work from @neilbband and others is exactly where we need to go first. Check it out!
When LLMs are unsure, they either hallucinate or abstain.
Ideally, they should clearly express truthful confidence levels.
Our #ICML2024 work designs an alignment objective to achieve this notion of linguistic calibration in *long-form generations*.

New blog from @KeeganMcB and myself: AI is going to transform our elections, making them more personal and less human. And more importantly, AI is going to change what we prioritize in politics, and who gets a say in what that looks like. Read more here:

"We ask Twitter to reinstall the old API and to facilitate and expand, not restrict or limit, the quantity of data accessible through it." Here's a petition from myself, @jessRmorley and @Floridi to twitter - sign here: docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1F…

Deeply disappointing news from @TwitterDev - academics currently have free access to 10mil tweets/month, soon to be downgraded to 10k for $100/month. If Twitter is a "public sphere", shouldn't the public have access to its data? Lots of important research will suffer from this
“It's a sad day for our country and our democracy when dominant industries, with assistance from unlimited dark money, get to choose their regulators..with the help of their friends in the Senate, the powerful cable and media companies have done just that"

The working paper for my first, first-author paper (alongside @Floridi), "Using Twitter to Detect Polling Place Issues on U.S. Election Days" is now available on SSRN! I'm really excited about this work, and I'll offer a brief summary in the replies:

Although voting is amongst the most studied fields in political science- there's limited work on the impacts of suppression, because data collection is so difficult. In the past we've had to rely on survey data or observers in a handful of polling places. Now, we can use Twitter.
