This is a great study and (one of?) the first of its kind! A note of caution from a human contributor though: given the slow academic publishing process, the findings should primarily be interpreted as a snapshot of AI capabilities (and the capabilities of researchers using AI) in 2024. (1/4)
Pretty cool project!
One of the most impressive examples of research happening at @hertiedatascience.bsky.social. Evidence production is a massive soft power and some governments are currently shooting themselves in the foot by attacking the very institutions that nurture it.
I'm so happy to see this paper published with us @nathumbehav.nature.com !
Check out the thread below (and the paper itself) for new insights into the global relationship between science and policy
I’m excited to share a new paper in Nature that shows how large language models launder the strategic rhetoric of authoritarian states. Paper here: www.nature.com/articles/s41.... A thread.
A new study published in @nature.com Nature Human Behaviour, by @seramirezruiz.bsky.social, @hertieschool.bsky.social & @rsenninger.bsky.social, @au.dk reveals how power shapes not just politics but the very knowledge that informs it.

🚨 What happens with voters when politicians use simpler language?
New @thejop.bsky.social paper with @rsenninger.bsky.social: simple language changes not just what citizens understand, but who they think politicians are.

1/ Can AI help researchers check whether published social science results actually reproduce? In our new PNAS paper, we tested this directly in the AI Replication Games: 288 researchers, 103 teams, and real replication packages from quantitative social science.
Our paper is out in Nature Human Behaviour!
@rsenninger.bsky.social and I asked a simple, underexplored, question: when governments write policy documents, whose knowledge do they actually cite?
