Our team's 3rd & latest paper on AI-mediated crisis comm (open access). Warmth-focused language increases trust and forgiveness only when the apology feels human-authored; with AI attribution, cognitive closure makes those warmth cues irrelevant. bit.ly/4yTf3QO
Our new study introduces noAIphobia—anxiety about losing access to AI. We find that AI dependence creates two opposing psychological forces: noAIphobia encourages continued AI use, while AI use stigma discourages it. #noAIphobia doi.org/10.1016/j.tele.2026.…
Our research applied cultivation theory to artificial general intelligence (AGI): News tells us AGI is near.
Sci-fi makes us feel what that future might mean. journals.sagepub.com/doi/10.… #AGI
GenAI’s explosion raises a similar question: if electricity and water use keep soaring, can this tech remain sustainable, or as Big Tech reports claim, will it actually cut emissions by 5 to 10 percent and make farming cleaner and more efficient? nytimes.com/2024/08/26/clima…
Our study on Republicans’ weaponization of cancel culture is out. We showed how hostile media perceptions drive GOP support for censorship laws and punitive actions against “woke” corporations. bit.ly/48H9ytO
Even as AI hallucinations produce absurd recommendations (“eat at least one small rock per day”), GenAI is rapidly emerging as a go-to tool for health information seeking. Our new study explains why people continue using AI tools for health searches. hnmr.org/journal/view.php?do…
Another sign we've entered the agent phase of AGI: job seekers and recruiters alike now deploy A.I. agents to apply and respond. But as one expert put it, “a lot of processing power, a lot of money” will be wasted—until both sides return to authenticity. tinyurl.com/mpthnt54
In a moment of fear for L.A.’s immigrant families, the Dodgers’ silence sparked backlash—like Disney’s delay on “Don’t Say Gay.” tinyurl.com/2btyynm8 They later pledged $1M in aid, but real impact meant taking a firm stand against ICE raids. tinyurl.com/ezj6zkbu
This trend will likely continue as GenAI erodes language barriers and China boosts research via its Double First-Class initiative—injecting ¥256B (~US$35.5B) into 150 universities. #Nature #GenAI nature.com/nature-index/rese…
Congratulations to President @Jaemyung_Lee and to the voters who rejected smears and hate from biased media and politicized prosecutors, choosing justice, accountability, and reform. His victory is a testament to Korea’s democratic resilience. Wishing him five successful years.
New publication! 📢 Our team explored how engagement strategies in corporate communication about data responsibility shapes trust in AI firms by influencing perceptions of AI ethics. w/ opening quote taken from #AI2041 tandfonline.com/doi/full/10.… #CDR

Every click, scroll, and purchase powers AI prediction systems. But are companies earning consumers’ trust in how that data is used? Our post for the Page Center explains why data responsibility is now a business imperative, not just an ethical ideal. #CDR

Delighted to share that our collaborative study is now out in JoBEM! We looked at how user empowerment, AI hallucinations, and privacy concerns are related to continued use and willingness to pay for generative AI. #TAM Check it out here: tandfonline.com/doi/full/10.…
Our team's research about the third-person effect of vaccine-related misinformation on content moderation and corrective action is published in OIR! #TPE #ContentModeration emerald.com/insight/content/…
