How Prebunking Works?
Prebunking is a technique that prepares people in advance for potential manipulation attempts.
By forewarning audiences, prebunking helps them recognize and resist such tactics when encountered.
-
Prebunking
in three-part
structurePrebunking messages that utilize the principles of inoculation theory typically follow a three-part structure:
-
1. Emotional Warning
Users are alerted to impending attempts to manipulate them.
-
2. Micro-dose
Users see example(s) of manipulative messaging.
-
3. Refutation
Users are equipped to spot and refute a manipulative message.
Psychologically Vaccinated Minds
"Prebunking is built on inoculation theory, which was developed in the 1960s by social psychologist William McGuire, and designed to be used as a psychological vaccine for brainwash."
"Just as weakened exposure to a pathogen triggers antibody production, inoculation theory posits that pre-emptively exposing people to a weakened persuasive argument builds peopleβs resistance against future manipulation."

What They Think About Mis- And Disinformation?
βA lie can travel halfway around the world while the truth is still putting on its shoes.β
"The result for misinformation can be seen, for example, in the enduring debate over climate change despite the clearly-settled science that proves it exists.
"False stories have an intrinsic advantage over the truth when it comes to uniting people. Humans prefer power to truth. We spend far more time trying to control the world than trying to understand it."
"Deepfakes and misinformation generated by AI could undermine elections and democracy."
"The biggest risk of AI is not that it will develop a mind of its own, but that it will be used to manipulate people on a massive scale."
"Iβm particularly worried that these AI models could be used for large-scale disinformation."
