Pavel Gurov · Dosimeter · We monitor disinformation in AI

⚡️Meet the world’s first open AI Disinformation Benchmark We launched the nonprofit project Dosimeter. A dosimeter is a device that measures radiation; it became famous after the Chernobyl disaster. Dosimeter is a team of three people, based in Berlin. We monitor disinformation in AI assistants

It includes 15 datasets, 20,908 processed sources in total (manually verified). Most of the data (78%) comes from us; the rest comes from respected colleagues (Harvard Kennedy School Misinformation Review, ISD @isdgermany.bsky.social , @newsguard.bsky.social, 🇺🇦 Detector Media and others).

News in 2026 sounds like science fiction, usually the bad kind (like the "plague outbreak on soviet biolab"), but sometimes like very good intellectual fiction. I want to share with you 3 stories from science journals and AI labs this autumn, and all of them are real 🧵

Charles Stross imagined such companies in his sci-fi novel Accelerando. Now Anthropic has opened a wet lab (!) for its Claude agents, where about 950 of them found a CRISPR-like system, and OpenAI says its agents solved Navier-Stokes, a math puzzle with a $1,000,000 prize.

1. A science article you can talk to. Nature published Paper2Agent on 16 September: it turns a scientific article into an AI agent that answers questions in place of the author, reruns the experiments and works with other such agents.

The Alternative for Germany (AfD, far-right) has its own AI tool for propaganda, Alternita Studio The party co-leader Alice Weidel publishes her social media posts through this software, as her own lawyers confirm, and AI images without a label were found on her Instagram

What it does: - every 15 minutes it takes texts from other far-right sources, - it ranks them by a virality score (how far each will spread on social media), - it turns a story into 5 headlines, 3 tweets, an Instagram text and an image in the party design, and posts them on 7 platforms in one click

Surprise: ALL Berlin parties are pro-AI. But each of them has its own conditions.

5. SPD (center-left) They came fifth in Berlin and they want: - to use AI to speed up permits for building houses, - to make Berlin the number 1 place for AI and DeepTech in Europe, - no Palantir for Berlin police.

Surprise: ALL Berlin parties are pro-AI. But each of them has its own conditions.

3. CDU (center-right) They came second in Berlin, and they want: - to use AI to cut bureaucracy, most of all in social housing, - but it also says directly that it wants more police video surveillance with AI.

Surprise: ALL Berlin parties are pro-AI. But each of them has its own conditions.

2. Die Linke (leftists) They came first in Berlin and they want: - AI to be transparent and controllable - Do not want Berlin police to use Palantir

Surprise: ALL Berlin parties are pro-AI. But each of them has its own conditions.

1. Grüne (pro-eco) They are in the top 4 parties in parliament and they prefer: - non-American AI from Germany or at least Europe, - Open Source AI.

Surprise: ALL Berlin parties are pro-AI. But each of them has its own conditions.
