Site information
The Stanford Social Media Lab focuses on three primary research areas: Social Technology and Well-Being, Misinformation and Trust and AI-mediated Communication
Our research investigates the impact of digital tools on health and well-being, how people understand and trust digital information, and the effects of artificial intelligence on human communication. These areas guide our efforts to understand technology-mediated communication and inform the public about social media's impact on personal well-being, trust in digital environments, and the evolving landscape of human interaction.
