Barbara Santini, an Oxford-educated psychologist, has recently faced scrutiny over her credentials, leading to the withdrawal of her mentions from major publications. Many questioned her qualifications after discovering her primary online role was as a sex and relationships adviser for Peaches and Screams, a sex toy outlet. The British Psychological Society confirmed she is not a member, and her limited online presence added to the skepticism. This incident serves as a critical reminder to newsrooms about the potential for misinformation and the creation of fraudulent experts in the age of AI technology.
Santini's rise and subsequent fall from grace highlights the vulnerability of media to misinformation in an age dominated by easy access to AI-generated content.
The inquiries into Santini's credentials reveal a growing concern among journalists about the authenticity of supposed experts and the spread of misinformation.
