SUMMARY:When Science Goes Viral: Informal Online Debate, Disinformati
 on, and the Role of AI

DESCRIPTION:<br>
  <b>Abstract</b>: Scientific claims and informal dis
 cussions about science-related issues have proliferated across online
  platforms, where they are increasingly mobilized within manipulative
  narratives and disinformation campaigns. How, why, and when do peopl
 e invoke science in online debates; what intended or unintended effec
 ts do these practices produce? In this talk, I consider these questio
 ns through the lens of how scientific discourse is used—or instrume
 ntalized—to legitimize misleading information and to insert potenti
 ally harmful narratives in social media. I then explore how artificia
 l intelligence, and in particular transformer-based language models, 
 can contribute to identifying and countering such dynamics, rather th
 an amplifying them. I conclude by turning to the role of emotions and
  affective language in scientific disinformation, and by discussing t
 he challenges that emotionally charged discourse poses for current st
 ate-of-the-art models.
