An AI "army" flooded TikTok during the Iran War. Not one of the soldiers was real. At dotNex.ai, we traced the operation: 110 fake accounts, 3.9M views, one AI pipeline — engineered to shape how Americans feel about a war. Read the full report at reports.dotnex.ai

🚨 New preprint 🚨 Can AI agents coordinate influence campaigns without human guidance? And how does coordination arise among AI agents? In our latest research, we simulate LLM-powered AI agents acting like users on an online platform, some benign, some running an influence operation

What does coordinated inauthentic behavior look like on TikTok? We introduce a new framework for detecting coordination in video-first platforms, uncovering influence campaigns using synthetic voices, split-screen tactics, and cross-account duplication. 📄https://arxiv.org/abs/2505.10867

Also, we introduce a supervised machine learning model that utilizes a vector representation of the fused similarity network. With a precision exceeding 0.95, this model effectively classifies IO drivers on a global scale and accurately predicts their temporal engagements.
