SUMMARY:COVID-19 misinformation: understanding and seeking truth during a pandemic | Berkeley
DESCRIPTION:Misinformation about the coronavirus pandemic continues to create confusion and contention along scientific and political lines. In this conversation\, Berkeley faculty will help us understand the nature of misinformation in order to assess\, evaluate and engage more effectively with the information resources we consult. They will discuss some of the reasons for the rapid spread of misinformation\, how predictive algorithms often reinforce existing beliefs and stereotypes\, and how current legislation is addressing issues such as partisanship\, accountability\, and human rights. They will also present some new online tools for determining the trustworthiness of news sources\, and for recognizing multiple vantage points of different issues. \nNobel Laureate Saul Perlmutter\, Director of the Berkeley Institute for Data Science and Professor of Physics\, will moderate this webcast conversation with panelists Nick Adams\, a former BIDS Research Fellow and now Founder & Chief Scientist of Goodly Labs\, an organization that provides collaborative online resources and opportunities that enable citizen scientists to engage with publicly available data; Hany Farid\, a professor with joint appointments in UC Berkeley’s School of Information and department of Electrical Engineering & Computer Science\, whose research focuses on digital forensics\, image analysis\, and human perception; and Deirdre K. Mulligan\, a professor in the UC Berkeley School of Information and a Faculty Director of the Berkeley Center for Law & Technology whose research explores the legal and technical means of protecting values such as privacy\, freedom of expression\, and fairness in emerging technical systems.

SUMMARY:The Digital Dilemma in the Time of COVID | Center for Advanced Study in the Behavioral Sciences
DESCRIPTION:Digital technologies present a dilemma. They have become indispensable for learning skills\, building knowledge\, working\, playing\, and socially connecting. The COVID pandemic has accelerated our reliance on them but also highlighted problems that extend beyond persistent disparities related to access and algorithmic bias. There is mounting concern that these technologies\, and the screens on which they display\, may be changing our brain circuitry\, eroding our deep reading abilities\, memory\, and comprehension\, with implications for our physical and mental health\, education\, relationships\, and even the polity. Does our experience in the digital world represent a difference in degree or kind compared with previous technological shifts? What can we learn from new techniques that measure refined increments of our physiological and psychological states and the sociological dynamics of our lives as they play out on digital screens? Just how should we raise young learners today? Join Nilam Ram\, Byron Reeves\, Abby Smith Rumsey\, and Maryanne Wolf in conversation with John Markoff as they explore the profound implications of digital technologies for influencing the intellectual\, social\, emotional\, and ethical development of younger generations and\, potentially\, the cerebral evolution of our species. \nThis is episode 11 of “Social Science for a World in Crisis.” https://casbs.stanford.edu/webcasts
