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?
A healthy public debate about important societal challenges requires a common and scientifically sound basis.
