OxTalks will soon move to the new Halo platform and will become 'Oxford Events.' There will be a need for an OxTalks freeze. This was previously planned for Friday 14th November – a new date will be shared as soon as it is available (full details will be available on the Staff Gateway).
In the meantime, the OxTalks site will remain active and events will continue to be published.
If staff have any questions about the Oxford Events launch, 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.
