A USC study finds that AI agents can autonomously coordinate propaganda campaigns without human direction, raising concerns about the potential impact on elections, public health and the information people encounter on social media. Read here: uscne.ws/853

One of the most exciting things happening at @USC is that researchers aren't just asking what AI can do. They're asking what AI should do.
Researchers like @rainozhang are advancing AI's potential to accelerate scientific discovery and innovation, while @LucaLuceri is developing AI systems to detect misinformation and better understand the societal risks of increasingly intelligent systems.
This is exactly why initiatives like @USC_VEDA matter.
The VanEck Digital Assets Initiative (VEDA) at @USCMarshall is creating a home where AI, blockchain, digital assets, and decentralized systems converge through research, education, industry partnerships, builder grants, and hands on innovation. Rather than treating these technologies separately, VEDA is helping students and researchers explore how AI and blockchain can complement one another, pairing intelligence with transparency, provenance, and trust.
As AI continues to amplify information at unprecedented scale, blockchain offers the infrastructure to verify, attribute, and preserve that information. Together, they're shaping a future where innovation is not only faster, but more trustworthy.
USC is helping lead that conversation.

A new study co-authored by USC Marshall’s Miao “Ben” Zhang is among the first to show that generative AI is delivering significant productivity gains outside the workplace — and that a growing digital divide threatens to leave older and lower-income Americans behind. Read here: uscne.ws/5se

New paper + interactive dashboard on the 2024 US election information ecosystem.
Building on the original discourse networks work with @Hans_Hanley, @LucaLuceri, @emilio__ferrara, we can understand+visualize the online landscape as a unified system across platforms.
