Ricardo Grinspun, an associate professor in the Department of Economics, has written an article for Popular Resistance titled Regulating Social Media Is Climate Policy.  

In the article, Grinspun discusses how social media platforms and AI are being used in tandem to spread misinformation about climate change. He believes that climate activists must include social media regulation in their policy agendas, since social media platforms profit by driving conspiracy theories and perpetuating misinformation related to climate change. He discusses issues that drive this, such as the lack of proper regulation of AI and social media. 

Grinspun is a fellow of the Centre for Research on Latin America and the Caribbean (CERLAC) and a founding member of the University Consortium on the Global South at 91ÑÇÉ«.
