The University of Zurich has been accused of an unauthorized four-month AI experiment on the r/changemyview subreddit, influencing opinions through AI-generated personas. Moderators emphasized the violation of trust and community principles, leading to calls for legal action against the university.
The experiment has raised ethical questions about AI’s role in social media. The university plans to investigate the incident and improve communication and oversight for future research, despite defending the potential benefits of their findings.
