Large-Language-Model-Powered Agent-Based Framework for Misinformation and Disinformation Research: Opportunities and Open Challenges
On the map: LLM agents and tool use → Web, search, and research agents
Abstract (arXiv)
This article presents the affordances that Generative Artificial Intelligence can have in misinformation and disinformation contexts, major threats to our digitalized society. We present a research framework to generate customized agent-based social networks for disinformation simulations that would enable understanding and evaluating the phenomena whilst discussing open challenges.
