📢 New in Big Data & Society Whose voice counts? Arsenault & Kreps examine whether large language models help close participation gaps in public rulemaking. LLMs make comment-writing easier and improve comment quality—but do not improve policy comprehension. 🔗 journals.sagepub.com/doi/epub/10....

Do large language models democratize public participation in the regulatory process, or exacerbate existing gaps? In a new article in @bigdatasoc.bsky.social, Sarah Kreps and I use two survey experiments to explore the democratic opportunities and risks of LLMs: journals.sagepub.com/doi/10.1177/...

American respondents, however, were the least supportive of surveillance measures across treatments and surveillance tactics, with a notable reluctance to support the use of CCTV relative to respondents from the UK and Israel.

Participants from Israel generally respond more favourably to all forms of surveillance, independent of experimental treatment, and British respondents are particularly supportive of CCTV cameras.

We find that the most notable differences in support are cross-national, with individuals from the UK, US, and Israel expressing considerable variation in the degree to which they support surveillance measures. These results remain robust across attack type and outcome.

Using survey experiments conducted in the US, UK, & Israel, we explore whether variation in both the type (conventional or cyberterrorism) and outcome (non-lethal or lethal outcomes) of attacks influences support for a range of surveillance tactics and tools.

Family and friends have long known how badly I’ve wanted to adopt a dog of my own…so, when I heard from a rescue org that this little guy had been surrendered at 9 weeks old and was in need of a home, it was an easy decision! Everyone, meet Arlo!
