SUMMARY:CFP: Association of Internet Researchers Annual Conference 2023
DESCRIPTION:The 2023 AoIR conference addresses themes of revolutions\, and their contingent promises and failures as related to digital technologies. How have digital technologies been enrolled in revolutionary projects? How have discourses of revolutions taken shape in projects of social justice\, the reorganization of social orders\, or as corporate manipulations of revolutionary promises? This conference is an opportunity to engage with these complex and crucial questions. We welcome submissions on the following themes and beyond: \n\nRevolutions\, the rhetoric of revolution\, and critiques thereof\nThe successes and failures of revolutions\, both within digital technology and using digital technologies\nRevolutionary tactics\, actions\, and goals\nHistory of revolutions and internet technologies\nSovereignties within\, across\, and against the digital world\, including revolutionary or alternate sovereignties to those that currently exist\nDemocratization versus mobbing and the politics of mass participation\nRevolutions in research and methods\nRevolutionary understandings of time and place\, and envisioning pasts or futures as revolutionary goals\nBalancing the visibility as a political strategy with the capacities for increased surveillance\n\nWe also welcome submissions on topics that address social\, cultural\, political\, legal\, aesthetic\, economic\, and/or philosophical aspects of the internet beyond the conference theme. The committee extends a special invitation to students\, researchers\, and practitioners who have previously not participated in an AoIR event to submit proposals\, and to scholars from the Global South\, Black\, Indigenous\, and People of Color globally\, LGBTQIA+ peoples\, scholars living with disabilities\, and people outside or adjacent to the academy.

SUMMARY:Foreign Interference & Propaganda: What We Know and What to Expect | NYU Center for Social Media and Politics
DESCRIPTION:Since Russia’s attempt to interfere with the 2016 election\, the political and scholarly community has focused considerable attention on foreign influence in American politics. Researchers and media have investigated the scale and impact of Russia’s campaign\, and U.S. lawmakers are now increasingly concerned about national security risks surrounding China’s ownership of TikTok. What do we know about foreign influence since 2016 and how do we expect it to shift in the coming years? This virtual event brings together leading scholars to discuss how Russia and China have used traditional and digital media to shape global perceptions\, the role state-controlled agencies play in advancing propaganda\, and how tactics could continue to change heading into the 2024 election cycle. \nPanelists: \nRenée DiResta – Research Manager\, Stanford Internet Observatory \nKathleen Hall Jamieson – Elizabeth Ware Packard Professor of Communication\, University of Pennsylvania’s Annenberg School for Communication \nJennifer Pan – Professor of Communication\, Stanford University \nJoshua A. Tucker – Co-Director\, NYU’s Center for Social Media and Politics (moderator) \nThis event is co-sponsored by the NYU Jordan Center for the Advanced Study of Russia.

SUMMARY:UT Austin Good Systems Speaker Series | Predict and Surveil: Data\, Discretion\, and the Future of Policing
DESCRIPTION:The scope of criminal legal surveillance\, from the police to the prisons\, has expanded rapidly in recent decades. At the same time\, the use of big data has spread across a range of fields\, including finance\, politics\, health\, and criminal justice. Drawing on fieldwork conducted within the Los Angeles Police Department\, University of Texas at Austin Professor Sara Brayne shows how law enforcement uses predictive analytics and new surveillance technologies to allocate resources\, identify criminal suspects\, and conduct investigations. She then analyzes how the adoption of big data analytics transforms organizational practices\, and how the police themselves respond to these new data-driven strategies. Proponents argue that big data can be used to make law enforcement practices more effective\, fair\, accountable\, and objective\, in part by stripping discretion from biased front-line actors. This research reveals the ways that police use of big data does not eliminate discretion\, but rather displaces discretionary power to earlier\, less visible parts of the policing process. \nThis is an online event. Registration is required.

SUMMARY:Digital Policy Rounds: Mis/disinformation and the Question of Authenticity | Centre for Media\, Technology\, and Democracy
DESCRIPTION:While mis- and dis-information is primarily understood in terms of its facticity\, or lack thereof\, the very circulation of information such as news stories is tied to the cultural contexts in which people come to trust and rely on certain channels of information. Tackling misinformation\, then\, requires not just repudiation of its claims but an understanding of how and why its claims become significant — through what cultural channels — for certain groups of people. How do these channels influence what people will believe in their news and information consumption habits? How do recommender algorithms shape cultural channels that mark certain information as compelling? How does understanding the cultural sites of meaning-making help us address mis- and dis-information? \nThis panel seeks to surface the cultural dimensions of mis- and dis-information through the lens of authenticity: how claims to truthfulness and facticity are recognized as believable by communities\, and so how those claims are authenticated as truth or facts. Our panelists will discuss the historical\, technological\, and political aspects of claiming access to an authentic reality\, and how addressing mis- and dis-information through policy requires engaging culturally with those claims. \nRegister to receive the event Zoom link on the day of the event.

SUMMARY:The Impact We Generate Discussion Series | AI\, Media & Democracy
DESCRIPTION:March 21\, April 18 and May 30 2023 at 16:00\nIn recent months\, increased media attention has been given to AI-driven applications like Stable Diffusion\, Dall-E\, GPT-3\, ChatGPT and Bard. These programmes are commonly referred to as Generative AI: technologies that learn from existing data in order to produce new content\, including audio\, (realistic) images and art\, chat\, text and code. Though these technological innovations have sparked renewed enthusiasm and interest for the field of AI\, their potential to disrupt and transform has also been met with concern. \nIn an effort to demystify the use of Generative AI\, the AI\, Media and Democracy Lab is organising a series of events that will explore and discuss the pitfalls and possibilities of the technology’s transformative impact on the media and journalism industries: How can the sector reap the benefits of artificially created content in line with the industries’ values\, such as personal creativity\, autonomy\, user agency\, transparency\, objectivity\, diversity\, trust and authenticity?

SUMMARY:“Weaponizing Misogyny”: Gender-Based Harassment’s Impact on Journalists and Free Expression | Berkman Klein Center
DESCRIPTION:Whether they are reporting on gun violence\, covering protests in the post-Dobbs era\, or sharing information about COVID with the public\, journalists are on the frontlines\, bringing important issues to light. But the risks of that reporting don’t lie equally with everyone. White women journalists face much more significant harassment than their white male counterparts\, and women of color face harassment based on their gender\, race/ethnicity\, or both at the same time. \n[…]
