CS Gerald M. Masson Distinguished Lecture Series: Nadya T. Bliss

Description

Nadya T. Bliss, the executive director of the Global Security Initiative at Arizona State University, will give a talk as part of the Computer Science Gerald M. Masson Distinguished Lecture Series titled "A Research Agenda for Disinformation: How to Make Progress When Computer Science is Not Enough."

Abstract:

Disinformation is a quintessential socio-technical challenge – it is driven fundamentally by people and amplified significantly by technology. As such, technological solutions alone will not be sufficient in addressing this key national security challenge – technical advancements in identifying and mitigating the spread of disinformation must be tightly coupled with social interventions in the areas of education, training, and ethics. In this talk, Nadya Bliss will discuss what an interdisciplinary research agenda for tackling the challenge of disinformation could look like, along with the benefits and challenges of truly interdisciplinary research. Bliss will also provide examples of current research that bring experts from different disciplines together to develop systemic responses to the problem.
