Our LBW paper “Effective Yet Ephemeral Propaganda Defense: There Needs to Be More than One-Shot Inoculation to Enhance Critical Thinking” will be presented at ACM CHI Conference 2025 in May!

The study examines the long-term impact of AI propaganda detection tools on critical thinking. While these tools enhance critical analysis during use, our findings reveal that this effect diminishes once the tool is removed.
Grounded in inoculation theory and Kahneman’s dual-system thinking, our two-phase experiment highlights the need for longer-term, sustainable strategies to build resilience against propaganda.
