SUMMARY:AI in Healthcare: Mitigating Disparities\, Biases & Misinformation | Hariri Institute
DESCRIPTION:Event Listing Header  \n\n\nArtificial Intelligence (AI) and social media are finding useful applications in health care\, yet\, their use may perpetuate or even accentuate inequities\, disparities\, and the critical role of social determinants of health\, or even facilitate the spread of health-related misinformation. The symposium will convene AI experts\, medical researchers and practitioners\, and computer and social scientists. The objective is to seek consensus and synthesize ideas coming from different vantage points on how to (1) approach algorithmic or data biases and develop methods to mitigate them\, (2) develop a framework to leverage AI as part of a learning\, continually improving health systems\, and (3) grapple with the increasing influence of social media in the public perception of health issues\, especially their role in spreading misinformation during the COVID-19 pandemic.\n\n[…]

SUMMARY:Mainstream Media is the Problem | Network Science Institute
DESCRIPTION:There is a lot of concern about how the news ecosystem affects public opinion\, political polarization\, and democracy. Most of the research and public debate focuses on overtly fake material\, particularly as it is distributed through social media. But\, the vast majority of news consumption is actual produced by mainstream media\, and the most common mode of consumption is television. Meanwhile\, many key demographic groups consume almost no news at all. Concerns about lack of information or misinformation should focus on where people actual consume (or don’t consume) news\, and the product they are actually consuming: mainstream media. \nDavid Rothschild is an economist at Microsoft Research. He has written extensively\, in both the academic and popular press. His work pushes the boundaries on varying data and methods: polling\, prediction markets\, social media and online data\, and large behavioral and administrative data. His work focuses on solving practical and interesting questions including: mapping and updating public opinion\, the market for news\, effect of advertising\, finance\, and an economist take on public policy. \n[…]

SUMMARY:CDCS Colloquium: Social Media and the Shape of “Man” | Annenberg School for Communication
DESCRIPTION:Inspired by ethnographic work with queer of color users of the platform Tumblr during its heyday from 2010-2015 and using the Tumblr presence of Filipinx transfeminine visual and performance artist Mark Aguhar as a recurring touchstone\, this talk’s provocation is that the assumptive ways in which a social media platform “should” be designed — singular identity\, linear text exchanges\, direct messaging\, traversable connections\, and more — in fact instantiate a model of “Man” that can be traced back to the long violence of European colonialism. Relying on Sylvia Wynter’s invocation of the idea of homo oeconomicus as well as Lisa Lowe’s historical analysis of the colonial-era origins of the modern liberal subject\, this talk excavates these assumptions by advocating for and practicing a critical “close reading of design.” It then offers alternative design examples as opportunities for resisting this logic\, inviting us to imagine digital sociality from a standpoint of interdependence instead of the stance of the assumptive liberal individual. \n[…]
