And that brings me up to nearly 25,000 words for the #ICA26 liveblog, I think… 🫠
Not sure I’ve ever posted from a check-in queue before, but this one is VERY slow today, so I’ve now put up the final few posts from our #ICA26 communicative AI panel. This also included our own paper on how chatbots respond to conspiracist queries. 🤖😱

A really interesting #ICA26 session on censorship and self-censorship in China, Turkey, and Uruguay – liveblog here:
Another #ICA26 session on media framings and their potential consequences – liveblog is up now. And that means I’m finally up to present our work on chatbot responses to conspiracy theory questions in the next session – see you in Auditorium 2 at 12:00 !

Slides for our @qutdmrc.bsky.social #ICA26 paper on AI chatbots’ responses to conspiracist questioning are already up on slideshare, of course, and you can read the full article in a special issue of Media and Communication:
