The COVID-19 pandemic has been accompanied by an infodemic: an overabundance of information – some accurate and some not – that makes it hard for people to find trustworthy sources and reliable guidance when they need it. In this context, misinformation and disinformation can spread at an alarming rate, which can in turn influence public opinion, undermine or support public health responses, and impact the length and intensity of outbreaks. Infodemic management, which includes attempts to understand tactics employed my malicious actors to spread information and ‘social listening’ – the regular and systematic aggregation, filtering, and monitoring of conversations and public discourse – has become crucial, but raises a number of important ethical considerations and questions. This seminar will explore the nature and role of ethics as it relates to the infodemic, misinformation, and infodemic management.
