OxTalks will soon be transitioning to Oxford Events (full details are available on the Staff Gateway). A two-week publishing freeze is expected in early Hilary to allow all events to be migrated to the new platform. During this period, you will not be able to submit or edit events on OxTalks. The exact freeze dates will be confirmed as soon as possible.

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.
