LIAS FELLOW
(2022)
Artificial intelligence makes it possible today to distinguish profiles based on user data, on the basis of which administrators of social networks and large media companies know which groups are sensitive to which types of information. However, how transparent and correct is this information?
The intention is to gather scientific insights about major societal challenges in LIAS on the basis of international and interdisciplinary consultation.
