Researchers have developed a new model to detect information about hazards in text, which is often overlooked compared to sentiment or emotion analysis. This model, trained on a dataset of X posts, performs well and extracts hazard information that is not strongly correlated with common indicators like moral outrage or sentiment. The tool was applied to posts discussing the 2023 Israel-Hamas war and the 2022 French national election, revealing that hazard information, particularly concerning conflict, is prevalent. The study suggests that inorganic accounts involved in information campaigns may strategically highlight hazards to civilians to garner support. AI
