[Academic] [Help] College Research Survey - AI and Misinformation (Everyone)

Hi! I have a lot of research papers on the line every year (16 per year to be more precise 🥺) and it would be of great help if you could spare some of your valuable time to fill this form for my research.

Artificial intelligence (AI) today has stepped into various fields and one such is information creation. Today, AI has created a new form of communication media called synthetic media where there is “creation” of new information rather than reporting of information, created partially or fully through AI. It is simply AI generated content in the form of a video, voicemail, text, etc. These types of content have high potential to manipulate the public and can be used to spread misinformation and disinformation. Examples include Deepfakes, faceswaps, etc.

This survey is for my college research. I require 200 responses, within a week. It would be of great help if you could spare some of your valuable time for filling my survey. This survey is anonymous and confidential.

Thank you so much!

Join the fight against mis/disinformation by participating in my survey (including a game) (18+, English, Academic)

You most possibly care about mis/disinformation. I for sure do and joined the fight against misinformation by graduating on this topic (at the University of Amsterdam, master Political Communication Science). Only thing: I am struggling with finding participants. As I still need 400, I ask for your help!

If you are 18+ and speak sufficient English you can partitcipate! Participation takes 10-15 minutes of your time, is completely anonymous and voluntary. In includes a game which is designed to show people the tricks used by dis/misinformation creators (or you are in the control group). Click the link below to participate!

FYI, lrlourpresident, mod of subreddits like MurderedByAOC and OurPresident, has been offline since the US put in serious sanctions against Russia for Ukraine.
