On 28th November OxTalks will move to the new Halo platform and will become 'Oxford Events' (full details are available on the Staff Gateway).
There will be an OxTalks freeze beginning on Friday 14th November. This means you will need to publish any of your known events to OxTalks by then as there will be no facility to publish or edit events in that fortnight. During the freeze, all events will be migrated to the new Oxford Events site. It will still be possible to view events on OxTalks during this time.
If you have any questions, please contact halo@digital.ox.ac.uk
In the People’s Republic of China, a number of social media platforms created in the West, such as Twitter, Facebook, and Instagram, are restricted by the Great Firewall.
Nevertheless, over the past five years, the number of accounts on these sites created by Chinese officials, journalists, and other actors has been on the rise. These accounts aim to affect the attitudes of individuals living outside of China.
In this talk, Dr Naima Green-Riley, Visiting Fellow on the Oxford Martin AI Governance Initiative, will discuss the content and dissemination of internationally-targeted social media messaging campaigns from various Chinese sources. She will also discuss how generative artificial intelligence tools (AI) have been used in these campaigns, and their prospects for influence on political and social attitudes moving forward.
This event is in-person only.
