  • Are you interested in how adolescents experience generative AI in social media, and who is most susceptible to the (un)intentional creation, sharing, and consumption of misinformation? Do you
    What are you going to do
  • Misinformation and disinformation are widely seen as big societal threats, both in the Netherlands and beyond. These threats call for more research and for new solutions to make citizens and societal groups more resilient against mis
- and disinformation. This is why the Department of Communication Science at the University of Amsterdam has launched a new initiative focusing on the causes, content, consequences, and counterstrategies against mis
- and disinformation in our digital society.
  • This PhD project is part of this initiative and will specifically address the topic of misinformation in relation to youth and generative AI.
  • Generative AI poses a significant threat to our media and communication landscape by facilitating the widespread creation and dissemination of synthetic content at mínimal cost. Of particular concern are young individuals, who are disproportionately affected by the opportunities and challenges presented in this digital realm. Their heavy reliance on social platforms, which increasingly incorporate generative AI tools, increases the likelihood that they are exposed to generative AI in their daily life. Moreover, they are still developing the critical thinking skills needed for resilience in this space, leaving them particularly vulnerable to the creation, sharing, and illeffects of misinformation. Despite this susceptibility, research on misinformation has largely overlooked the experiences of youth, while at the same time, the understanding of generative AI remains in its infancy.

To address this gap, this project aims to:
(1) investigate how adolescents (aged perceive and navigate (the risks and benefits of) generative AI within the context of misinformation; (2) identify indicators of adolescents' susceptibility to the negative impacts of AI-generated misinformation; and (3) co-create and experimentally evaluate a generative AI competency intervention designed with, and specifically for, adolescents. In doing so, Project Generation AI will shed light on the perceptions and experiences of generative AI among adolescents, a demographic often overlooked; will provide insight into which adolescents are more susceptible (and which are more resilient) to the adverse effects of AI-generated misinformation; and lastly, delivers a scalable intervention designed to bolster the resilience of susceptible adolescents against AI-generated misinformation. The project will be supervised by dr. Tom Dobber, dr. Hande Sungur, dr. Hilde Voorveld, and prof. Dr.

Jessica Piotrowski- Tasks include:

  • completing an English-language PhD dissertation consisting of research articles within the appointment period;
- conducting qualitative interviews with adolescents;
- conducting a survey on identifying susceptibility factors in adolescents;
- working with adolescents to develop an intervention in co-creation;
- conducting an experiment with adolescents to empirically test the intervention;
- conducting data analysis and associated writing of research articles;
- presenting the work at national and international conferences
- spending 10% of your time on teaching-related tasks.

What we are looking for

  • You have:
  • (research) master's degree in Communication Science or in another discipline relevant to the project such as Psychology
- experience with quantitative and/or qualitative research methods (interviews, survey, experiment, co-creation)
- an excellent spoken and written command of Dutch (as this project will comprise conducting Dutch-language interviews and working with Dutch adolescents to develop a Dutch-language intervention)
- an excellent spoken and written command of English (as you will write an English-language dissertation and present at international conferences)
- the motivation to work in an interdisciplinary team.

  • You are:
  • passionate about research, particularly related to youth and media entertainment
- interested in working in an interdisciplinary team
- open to feedback
- able to work independently
- eager to learn and to develop new skills
- organized, flexible and have attention to detail
