Les plateformes sociales entrent dans une nouvelle ère : celle du désenchantement. La baisse mondiale du temps passé en ligne, combinée à l’arrivée massive de contenus générés par l’IA, révèle un tournant dans les usages.
1️⃣ L’ère du contenu ultra-transformé
Meta et OpenAI lancent leurs propres plateformes de vidéos générées par IA. Leur pari : que les utilisateurs aient encore envie de créer et surtout de consommer toujours plus de vidéos. Sauf que cette logique pousse à l’extrême ce que l’auteur du Financial Times appelle un « contenu ultra-transformé ». Dopamine garantie, valeur informationnelle quasi nulle…. Et perte de sens assurée.
2️⃣ Le reflux de l’attention
Les chiffres sont très intéressants. Selon une analyse du cabinet GWI, le temps passé sur les réseaux a atteint un pic en 2022 avant de chuter de près de 10 % fin 2024. Les 16 ans et plus y consacrent en moyenne deux heures et vingt minutes par jour. Et même les jeunes surconnectés décrochent les premiers.
💎En fait, les plateformes, devenues des « machines à capter l’attention », ne sont plus vraiment sociales.

Is science facing an integrity crisis?
A recent analysis in Nature revealed a shocking statistic: over 10,000 scientific papers were retracted in 2023 alone, a new record. This isn't just about small errors; it's a symptom of a much larger, more organized problem.
At the heart of this issue are "paper mills"—fraudulent operations that produce and sell fake research papers. Aided by AI, they can generate synthetic text with bizarre signatures like “tortured phrases” to mimic legitimate scientific writing.
While we trust the editorial system to be our defense, the evidence shows it is being successfully subverted:
- A PNAS analysis argues that these fraudulent papers are slipping through editorial filters at scale by exploiting gaps in the review system.https://https://lnkd.in/e7upVsUP
- An investigation in the journal Bioengineered found that during a suspect period, roughly 25–30% of articles showed signs of data manipulation or duplication.https://arxiv.org/abs/2503.21267
- The damage lingers even after a paper is caught. A JAMA Network Open paper documented how retracted paper mill articles are still being cited in systematic reviews years later, contaminating the evidence base in critical fields like oncology. https://lnkd.in/eMD4T5iM
- The BMJ has also highlighted the persistent patterns found in these retracted papers. https://lnkd.in/eMb_cYej
The sheer volume of these publications proves that our current detection methods—both human and automated—are not foolproof. This is more than just academic misconduct; it's a systemic threat to the integrity of the entire scientific record.
How can we, as a community, better protect our research ecosystem from this organized fraud?

New paper just published with Shaydanay Urbani and Eric Wang. We wanted to understand how people searched for health information on AI-powered technologies (specifically ChatGPT, Alexa and Gemini Overviews on Google Search results), so we interviewed 27 people while watching their behavior and asking for additional information about why they were doing certain things and what they would do with the results. https://lnkd.in/eMfZUcxD
tl;dr : Participants integrated AI tools into their broader search routines rather than using them in isolation. ChatGPT was valued for its clarity, speed, and ability to generate keywords or summarize complex topics, even by users skeptical of its accuracy. Trust and utility did not always align; participants often used ChatGPT despite concerns about sourcing and bias. Google’s AI Overviews were met with caution—participants frequently skipped them to review traditional search results. Alexa was viewed as convenient but limited, particularly for in-depth health queries. Platform choice was influenced by the seriousness of the health issue, context of use, and prior experience. One-third of participants were multilingual, and they identified challenges with voice recognition, cultural relevance, and data provenance. Overall, users exhibited sophisticated “mix-and-match” behaviors, drawing on multiple tools depending on context, urgency, and familiarity.
Fascinating project, and as ever, people's behavior tends to be much more complex and nuanced than headlines would suggest.

🔎 Les plateformes en ligne restent très perméables à la désinformation, selon une nouvelle étude du consortium Science Feedback.
➡️ 6 plateformes (Facebook, Instagram, LinkedIn, TikTok, X, YouTube) ont été examinées. La désinformation reste massivement présente sur toutes les plateformes. Les contenus trompeurs bénéficient d’une plus large visibilité et les mécanismes de démonétisation de ces contenus sont encore insuffisants, notamment sur YouTube.
📊 Quelques chiffres clés :
◾ Prévalence de la désinformation et contenus abusifs : TikTok (34 %) > X (32 %) > Facebook (27 %) > YouTube (22 %) > Instagram (19%) > LinkedIn (8 %).
◾ Une "prime à la désinformation" : les comptes peu crédibles génèrent jusqu’à 8 fois plus d’engagement que les sources fiables sur certaines plateformes.
◾ Monétisation persistante : 76 % des chaînes peu crédibles sur YouTube restent éligibles à la publicité.
💬 Ces constats interrogent la conformité des pratiques des plateformes avec les obligations du DSA en matière de réduction des risques systémiques. Cette analyse constitue la première évaluation à grande échelle des indicateurs structurels prévus par le Code de conduite européen sur la désinformation. Elle confirme une tendance au désengagement des plateformes en matière de désinformation que les régulateurs européens, dont le CSA avaient déjà constaté dans une précédente étude.

If you feel overwhelmed by a lit review, you just need a strategy.
Here is an AI-assisted structure for thorough literature reviews:
🔵 1 - Capture Phase
In this phase, your goal is to find impactful review papers, not every single paper. In fact, the fewer relevant papers you find, the easier your literature review will go.
I recommend using PaperPal as your reference manager because it automatically uploads PDFs into Google Drive, making it much easier to use AI on them.
🔵 2 - Knowledge Building
To build your knowledge, take notes in your own words on recurring topics in your field. Using Obsidian, you can link these notes and store information on the papers you have read. This makes your notes easy to find and use. Upload your PDFs to Google Drive. This allows Gemini and Notebook LM to access these papers, helping you understand and identify concepts.
🔵 3 -Synthesis phase
Once you have extensive notes on 10-20 topics, it's time to start synthesising the review. I use two detailed documents:
(1) Main Findings: This is a free-text note where you dump all relevant findings that make sense to mention in your literature review. Don't worry about the structure (You can later use AI to format it). The purpose of this document is to craft a narrative for your literature review.
(2) Table of relevant papers: This table mentions all the papers you have read and has columns for different aspects of them. For instance, a summary, relevance, methods, study area, period, etc. The purpose of this document is to remember which papers you want to cite in your review.
The key is to store everything relevant in these two documents.
🔵 4 - Writing phase
With the two documents from the previous phase, you can start drafting out a manuscript. Drop both documents into AI and ask it to outline a first draft for your manuscript. If the main findings already have a structure, this will be reflected in the output of the AI. Most importantly, Google's Gemini Has access to all your papers through Google Drive and can integrate them into the manuscript skillfully.
This AI output should remain a draft. Polish it using your own words and always double-check.

L'ère numérique nous a confrontés à une « surcharge informationnelle » sans précédent, une réalité qui affecte notre concentration et notre capacité à hiérarchiser les priorités. Dans les domaines de la cyberdéfense, de la géopolitique et de l'innovation, la rapidité de la prise de décision est vita
Ces outils comme NotebookLM permettent une exploration et une structuration puissantes du savoir à condition que l’analyste conserve la maîtrise du questionnement et le contrôle critique des réponses générées.
Dans un contexte où la vitesse de l’analyse peut parfois supplanter la vérification, il est essentiel de rappeler que l’esprit critique demeure la première défense contre les biais, les erreurs et les illusions de vérité algorithmique.
La notion de souveraineté cognitive évoquée prend ici tout son sens : la véritable supériorité ne réside pas dans la technologie elle-même, mais dans la capacité humaine à l’interpréter, la questionner et l’utiliser avec discernement.

Health information journeys now begin well before a consultation. Patients often arrive having already Googled symptoms, watched health advice on TikTok, or even asked an AI chatbot. And research shows many go back online after their appointment to double check what their clinician said. Some never make it to seeing a provider after finding answers online.
In my conversations with colleagues, we often think about how the information environment shapes health across the socioecological model. In this piece, we zoomed in on one layer that is easy to overlook: the patient–provider relationship. What happens when the information space patients move through before and after visits changes their expectations of what makes them feel listened to and supported?
Our new Viewpoint in Lancet Primary Care explores these questions.
Special thanks to Maike Winters, who sparked the idea and led the writing.
Some of the reflections we share:
1/ The “information space” is crowded. Algorithms, influencers, and even predatory journals often outshine clinical voices
2/ Trust between patients and providers depends less on facts alone, and more on empathy, listening, and continuity of care
3/ Tackling questions, concerns, narratives, and misinformation is extra work for providers, but it’s central to making patients feel heard and supported.
4/ Building literacies around navigating the information environment could help both patients and providers navigate this new terrain together.
