KInIT is an independent, non-profit institute dedicated to intelligent technology research. We bring together experts in different areas of computer science.
What does an organized disinformation campaign actually look like? 🔍

At #DisTraceAI, we’re building AI that maps narratives across media, platforms, and languages to help distinguish organic public debate from coordinated information campaigns and disinformation.

Remember when AI generated salmon steaks floating in a river? 🐟 AI has come a long way since then.
Martin Tamajka demystified how models like ChatGPT work, their struggle with Slovak (which we solve in the SensAI project), and the shift to "vibe coding".

How should TikTok’s Virtual Compute Environment (VCE) actually work for independent researchers? 🛡️📊
We took a close look at its current state and proposed key recommendations to make algorithm auditing more transparent and secure. Link in the first comment. #aiauditology

Embedding human values into algorithms isn’t a solo game. Solving for fairness can easily undermine privacy. At #hermesproject, we’ve moved past one-size-fits-all fixes to find balance in a complex world of values. If AI is to help us, it must respect how complex we humans actually are. 🧠 #hermes

#TikTok says it doesn’t profile minors. 🔍
We put that claim to the test.
📱 We created simulated minor and adult accounts and tracked what ads the algorithm showed them for 10 days.

🤖 A lot of AI systems work remarkably well, as long as the conversation stays in English. But what about Slovak? Can AI still understand what's being asked, and turn it into a solution that works? 💡 Read the full LinkedIn post to find out more: www.linkedin.com/feed/update/...

Did the AI get it right? ✅ That's only half the story. We need to look at the patterns behind the answers. What happens when it’s right, wrong, or almost right? 🔍

How does TikTok's FYP work? 📲 Ivan Srba explains it's about explicit likes vs. implicit watch time. Simply finishing an emotional video can trap you in a bubble! ⌛ We need more transparency and real control over the interests platforms assign to us. ✊ #aiauditology

Can AI really talk to everyone? 🗣️
We put 16 language models to the test across 10 languages and 1,000+ prompts to see how well they adapt to different platforms and audiences. 📊

Exciting milestone! 🚀 Our new paper explores how self-supervised learning can boost malware clustering. We found that not all SSL methods transfer well to malware, but the right ones can beat strong unsupervised baselines. 🛡️ Final peer reviews are underway! 📈 #EMA #EMAproject #KInIT

Think AI text detection is solved? Real-world tests say otherwise. At RobIndAI, we pushed detectors to the limit across 7 languages using tricky, obfuscated texts. From news to messy social media, here’s how to stay reliable. 🌍

🔍 How well do vision-language models really understand language?

Our upcoming DisAI Amplified paper Hidden in Top K takes a new angle — instead of human-made “hard” examples, we test what the model itself finds challenging.

What is AI ethics really about?
Many imagine that AI ethics means teaching artificial intelligence to “distinguish right from wrong.” Want to learn how it really is? More in the thread 🧵👇

AI was supposed to be fair… instead, it did something else 🤷

🆕 In our newest paper we look at the political views of LLMs, how these biases generalize, and how models can be steered.
