- Yami VELEZ : january - april 2024 - Columbia University / Kevin Arceneaux
Project : Work on several projects involving misinformation detection, prevention and correction. Over the past few years, I have published papers examining the effects of fact-checks on beliefs about politics and medicine. I’ve also contributed to the literature on immigrant politics by studying how misinformation flows within Latino communities, and what we can do about it. I plan to extend this work by examining how we can improve detection of AI content as we head into important elections such as the 2024 election in the US, how we can characterize the spread of misinformation in other immigrant communities across the globe, and examine the more fundamental question of how beliefs and attitudes change when presented with evidence.
