virtual guardian angels for the posttruth information age

this project is motivated by the hypothesis that we are approaching a posttruth society where it becomes practically impossible for anyone to distinguish fact from fiction in all but the most trivial questions a main cause of this evolution is peoples innate dependence on cognitive heuristics to process information which may lead to biases and poor decision making these biases risk being amplified in a networked society where people depend on others to form their opinions and judgments and to determine their actions contemporary generative artificial intelligence technologies may further exacerbate this risk given their ability to fabricate and efficiently spread false but highly convincing information at an unprecedented scale combined with expected advances in virtual augmented mixed and extended reality technologies this may create an epistemic crisis with consequences that are hard to fully fathom a posttruth era on steroidsin the vigilia project we will investigate a possible mitigation strategy we propose to develop automated techniques for detecting triggers of cognitive biases and heuristics in humans when facing information as well as their effect at an interpersonal level their effect on trust reputation and information propagation and at a societal level in terms of possible irrational behaviour and polarization we aim to achieve this by leveraging techniques from ai itself in particular large language models as well as by building on advanced user modelling approaches from the past erc consolidator grant forsied our results will be integrated within tools that we refer to as virtual guardian angels vigils aimed at news and social media consumers journalists scientific researchers and political decision makers ethical questions arising will be identified and dealt with as firstclass questions within the research project

unfolding the early htt aggregates an interdisciplinary approach for characterizing novel molecular events that impact heat shock response in huntington disease

a common characteristic in many neurodegenerative diseases nds is the presence of disordered proteins that form toxic aggregates in huntingtons disease hd expanded polyq tracts on huntingtin htt lead to the formation of aggregates which affects many cellular functions eventually resulting in cell death heat shock response hsr is a protective mechanism that facilitates among other functions the clearance of protein aggregates paradoxically hsr becomes impaired in hd the fact that early htt aggregates prior to becoming severely aggregated or toxic fail to trigger hsr indicates that this impairment likely occurs early in the hd pathogenesis the molecular mechanism underlining the hsr impairment in hd remains elusive the aim of unfearhd is to unravel the mechanism that links htt aggregation with hsr impairment in early stages of hdseveral lines of evidence indicate that disordered proteins having the ability to phase separate may directly regulate translation and transcription as shown for biomolecular condensates our hypothesis is that aggregationprone htt alters the early hd proteome composition in a way that impacts the hsr by directly interacting with rna and dna to explore our hypothesis we will employ c elegans strains engineered for inducible htt expression and combine unbiased omics to a directly interrogate the htt interactions with rnas and dnas using a uvbased crosslinking and immunoprecipitation clip and b understand the consequences of such interactions at proteome level using a bioorthogonal noncanonical amino acid tagging boncat the unfearhd project will enable the establishment for the first time of a direct association between htt aggregation and hsr impairment which is detrimental for hd progression the findings will stretch beyond the scope of unfearhd as the combination of protein aggregation and hsr impairment is detrimental for other nds but also seems to constitutes a universal mechanism of ageing
