Sacha Altay

After my paternity leave, I'm back in Paris where I started a permanent research position at AMIAD, France's defence AI agency, in its research centre at École Polytechnique. I'll keep working on misinformation, persuasion, and, increasingly, AI 🤖

With Claude I did a systematic literature review of misinformation prevalence, exposure, and concentration.

There is a companion website that allows you to play with the data and signal me if an estimate is wrong or missing: altay-research.github.io/misinfo-preval…

AI agents are valuable epistemic tools. They let us look under the hood of scientific research, lowering the cost of verifying (and implementing) good methodological practices. With @EdgarDubourg, we propose a step-by-step method for using them.

Thanks to Claude I have a brand new website where you can scroll through my papers, talks, and podcasts, etc. Give it a look: sachaaltay.github.io :)

One of my favorites paper got published 🥳 It covers a lot of ground and it’s the best summary of my views on misinformation and what to do about it. Give it a read :)
