Jeffrey T. Hancock

Jeffrey T. Hancock is a communication and psychology researcher and professor at Stanford University's College of Communication, widely recognized for his work on deception, trust in technology, and the psychology of social media. He has authored more than 80 journal articles and has been cited by media outlets including NPR and CBS This Morning.

In 2024, Hancock became embroiled in controversy after he was retained by the Minnesota Attorney General as an expert witness to defend a state law prohibiting the use of AI-generated deepfakes in elections. Hancock submitted a court filing that relied on ChatGPT, which contains citations of fake, non-existent sources. A federal judge barred his testimony, citing the "irony" and the resulting collapse of his credibility. Provided by Wikipedia
