First Amendment expert Chip Stewart, a professor of<br \/>\n                     journalism and assistant provost for research compliance, finds that laws regulating<br \/>\n                     AI-generated deepfakes face constitutional hurdles, while clear labeling may slow<br \/>\n                     the spread of misinformation \u2014 if people remain vigilant.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Jie \u201cJackie\u201d Zhuang, associate professor of communication studies, also in the Bob Schieffer College of Communication, examines how AI-driven misinformation erodes trust in disaster response, underscoring<br \/>\n                     a simple truth: Technology is only as responsible as the humans guiding it.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">This issue also marks a level up in TCU\u2019s research strategy. As Provost Floyd L. Wormley<br \/>\n                     Jr. writes, the university is accelerating toward R1 status while remaining grounded<br \/>\n                     in its teacher-scholar model, \u201ca student-centered scholarship\u201d that keeps discovery<br \/>\n                     aligned with purpose.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">He introduces Reuben F. Burch V, TCU\u2019s new vice provost for research, whose charge<br \/>\n                     is clear: research that matters, partnerships that deliver and students who lead the<br \/>\n                     way.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight:...<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.tcu.edu\/news\/2026\/tcu-research-magazine-examines-paradox-of-progress-in-the-age-of-ai.php\">Source<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>TCU Research Magazine Examines Paradox of Progress in the Age of AI https:\/\/www.tcu.edu\/news\/2026\/tcu-research-magazine-examines-paradox-of-progress-in-the-age-of-ai.php Publish Date:&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":214276,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"fifu_image_url":"https:\/\/www.tcu.edu\/images\/1200x630-social-share.jpg","fifu_image_alt":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[14],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-214275","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-artificial-intelligence"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/214275"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=214275"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/214275\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":214277,"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/214275\/revisions\/214277"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/214276"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=214275"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=214275"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=214275"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
