What does coordinated inauthentic behavior look like on TikTok?
We introduce a new framework for detecting coordination in video-first platforms, uncovering influence campaigns using synthetic voices, split-screen tactics, and cross-account duplication.

🚨 New preprint 🚨
Can AI agents coordinate influence campaigns w/o human guidance? And how does coordination arise among AI agents? In our latest research, we simulate LLM-powered AI agents acting like users on an online platform, some benign, some running an influence operation
⚠️ Significant implications for AI safety, platform governance, and digital influence ecosystems.
🧭 Curious how this plays out? An interactive dashboard lets you inspect agent behaviors, network evolution, and coordination dynamics directly.
