From Misinformation to Agentic AI: Where My Research Is Heading
After two years researching how AI generates misinformation, I am expanding into agentic AI systems. The trust questions are similar but harder: when agents act autonomously, how do we verify intent, calibrate trust, and maintain oversight?

CRED-1: An Open Multi-Signal Domain Credibility Dataset for Misinformation Pre-Bunking
I’m excited to share CRED-1, an open, reproducible domain-level credibility dataset that I’ve been working on as part of my doctoral research at Frankfurt University of Applied Sciences. The preprint is now available on SSRN, and the full dataset and pipeline are openly accessible on GitHub and Zenodo. What is CRED-1? CRED-1 provides credibility scores…

Introducing CRED-1: An Open Domain Credibility Dataset for Fighting Online Misinformation
How do you know whether a news source is trustworthy? That question is at the heart of my latest research project. Today, I am releasing CRED-1, an open multi-signal domain credibility dataset that assigns credibility scores to 2,672 domains known for publishing misinformation, conspiracy theories, or other unreliable content. Why Another Dataset? Existing source lists…

Three Open Datasets on AI-Driven Disinformation: From LLM-Generated News to Expert Threat Assessments
How well can people actually detect AI-generated news? What strategies do large language models use to mimic journalistic writing? And what do domain experts think about the evolving threat landscape of generative AI disinformation? These are the questions driving a multi-year, mixed-methods research program on AI-driven disinformation. Today, I’m making three core datasets from this…

Industrialized Deception: How LLMs Are Reshaping the Disinformation Landscape
Our paper “Industrialized Deception: The Collateral Effects of LLM-Generated Misinformation on Digital Ecosystems” has been accepted at ACM TheWebConf ’26 (WWW ’26) in Dubai. It examines how large language models are reshaping the disinformation landscape and what we can do about it. The Problem: Deception at Industrial Scale Generative AI has fundamentally changed how misinformation…
