This Tech Could Change Conspiracy Believers’ Minds
Conspiracy theories can take many forms, from misgivings about the first moon landing to false claims that the 2020 election was stolen.

What if an AI chatbot could help? A recent study, published in Science, asked that very question — and the results were surprising. Thomas Costello, an assistant professor of psychology at American University and co-author of the study, breaks down the findings. Try chatting with the bot yourself at debunkbot.com.
