Jeff Hancock, an expert on AI and misinformation, has been accused of fabricating an expert declaration by citing a study that was allegedly made up by AI.
A Stanford University 'misinformation expert' has been accused of using artificial intelligence to craft testimony later used by Minnesota Attorney General Keith Ellison in a politically-charged case. Jeff Hancock, a professor of communications and founder of the vaunted school's Social Media Lab, provided an expert declaration in a case involving a satirical conservative YouTuber named Christopher Kohls.
Declaration of Prof. Jeff Hancock cites a study that does not exist,' lawyers argued in a recent 36-page memo. 'No article by the title exists.' The 'study' was called 'The Influence of Deepfake Videos on Political Attitudes and Behavior' and was purportedly published in the Journal of Information Technology & Politics. The Nov. 16 filing notes that the journal is authentic, but had never published a study by that name.
