Artificial Intelligence (AI) tools like ChatGPT and Google Gemini are transforming how content is created, and creating new problems around privacy and truth. At the same time, these tools can be incredibly useful in compiling information and drafting messages.

A group of Stony Brook students this spring took a close look at potential benefits and risks of using AI tools, particularly as they could enhance or hinder advocacy efforts for social causes. The students created a guide for advocacy groups that will help those groups consider how, when or if to use AI in their work.

Research project supported by NIH uses AI to predict how much trust individuals and communities have in U.S. counties.

Stony Brook, NY, Oct 12, 2024 - In the United States, public confidence in institutions has been declining over the past several decades. It is easy to imagine how these low levels of trust might lead to negative social, political, and economic outcomes, especially in the heat of the 2024 presidential elections. This is why measuring trust consistently and at scale is crucial.
