UBC Digital Transparency Cluster

How do we manage mis/disinformation? Join two experts for a candid conversation on how to navigate our world of information abundance.

UBC Innovation Precinct Annex 1

UBCO’s Digital Transparency Research Excellence Cluster presents a plenary talk titled, “How do we manage in a world of mis/disinformation?”We live in a world of information abundance. How do we manage this abundance? We ask two experts who approach this question from very different perspectives: political science and policy, and computer science.What insights might emerge from bringing these differing perspectives into dialogue? In particular, we aim to better distinguish between fact and fiction. How can public policy and professional practice help foster an open, knowledge-driven information ecosystem—one that cultivates the critical thinking essential to a healthy democracy?Join us for an engaging and candid conversation with two experts at the forefront of the field.Featured guest speakers:Dr. Tanu Mitra: Associate Professor in the Information School at the University of Washington and Founding Co-Director of <a href="https://www.raise.uw.edu/" title="https://www.raise.uw.edu/" target="_blank" data-msys-clicktrack="0" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer">RAISE</a>, a Centre for Responsibility in AI Systems and Experiences.Dr. Taylor Owen: Beaverbrook Chair in Media, Ethics and Communications, the founding director of <a href="https://www.mediatechdemocracy.com/" title="https://www.mediatechdemocracy.com/" target="_blank" data-msys-clicktrack="0" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer">The Centre for Media, Technology and Democracy</a>, and an associate professor in the Max Bell School of Public Policy at McGill University.
