"Researchers can't access social media data anymore." But one of the richest open datasets available today, Community Notes, remains surprisingly understudied. We analyse its first four years and release a research-ready dataset, code, interaction networks, and a comprehensive literature review!

Gendered AI design reflects and reinforces society’s biases - LSE Impact
When AI tools are designed with a gender, they don't just encode gendered values they also encourage users to engage with them in biased ways.

A large-scale analysis of Grokipedia, the world’s first AI-written encyclopedia, found that Grokipedia selectively draws on more right-leaning news sources. The study was conducted by Saeedeh Mohammadi and @tahayasseri.bsky.social at @soham-centre.bsky.social. See link to full press release ⬇️

Paper out in @pnas.org We compared ~18,000 matched articles between Wikipedia and Grokipedia, xAI’s AI-generated encyclopedia. While many pages closely mirrored Wikipedia, a substantial subset diverged markedly in content, sourcing, and political orientation, especially in religion and history.

New work by @cuihaosabrina.bsky.social and @tahayasseri.bsky.social is now available in Computers in Human Behavior Reports. The findings suggest that people may project gender biases onto AI managers, with potential implications for future human–AI interactions. Read the paper ⬇️

Same decision, different judgment. If people project the same gender biases onto AI managers, what does that suggest about our future interactions with AI? Read our work ⬇️ doi.org/10.1016/j.ch... @tahayasseri.bsky.social @soham-centre.bsky.social @tcdsociology.bsky.social

New preprint with Ruiqing (Rachel) Han & @cuihaosabrina.bsky.social on how people evaluate AI managers. One finding surprised us: adding a face shifts evaluation from performance to social perception. Take note AI system designers: interface choices are not neutral. @tcdsociology.bsky.social

Chapter 6: @lauraknelson.bsky.social from UBC Sociology on computational inductive research. The chapter makes a strong case that unsupervised methods don’t replace theory: they reshape how we generate & validate it. Induction, abduction, deduction, combined with transparency & reproducibility.

Preprint: Collaboration improves community-based content moderation, but only when political identities stay implicit. We tested whether you can combine @wikipedia.org model & Community Notes: complicated! w/ Gabriela Juncosa, Saeedeh Mohammadi & @msamahita.bsky.social @wikiresearch.bsky.social

Wikipedia is a fascinating case study in collective intelligence, and a rare example of the internet working as intended. @tahayasseri.bsky.social had a great conversation with @bernyoung.bsky.social on @ABC Radio Nightlife this week about Wikipedia as it turns 25. @tcdsociology.bsky.social

We have an opening for a PhD position at SOHAM to work on a very cool project (COOLNET)! Supervised by Guillaume Falmagne, Ph.D. and Prof @tahayasseri.bsky.social, they will work on large-scale multiplayer video games to study and compare mechanisms that foster global cooperation in social dilemmas.

A few updates on our Grokipedia analysis: we expanded our sample to 20,000 most edited articles on Wikipedia. Linguistic & stylistic differences are the same as reported before (Generally, Grokipedia articles are longer, more difficult to read, and less referenced.) @wikiresearch.bsky.social

Musk’s new WIkipedia rival aims to offer the same service but without the political bias.
