AI Powered Social Media Experiment
Researchers conducted an AI experiment using 500 chatbots with different personas to simulate a social media platform. The bots were fed news from July 2020 and then allowed to discuss it in a controlled environment. The experiment aimed to understand human behavior and potentially improve real social media platforms. Different algorithms were tested, including an echo chamber, a discover version based on likes, and a bridging algorithm that exposed bots to opposing viewpoints. The bridging algorithm resulted in the highest engagement and allowed bots to find common ground, reducing polarization.
