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
Journalists play an essential role in society, bringing truth to the public’s attention, exposing lies, and holding those in power accountable. How journalists are able to do this, in today’s networked society, is transforming.
Join us for a discussion with Ann-Katrin Mueller and Roman Hoefner from Der Spiegel to hear about how new advancements in technology and particularly AI are giving rise to a new set of challenges for journalism. By presenting real-world examples of elaborate networks of fake profiles and case studies, this talk will explore the different ways in which fake news campaigns are leading to mistrust in democracy and the media, the current failings of the public sector and private sector platforms, and, additionally, discuss potential ways to fight back – for citizens, journalists, and the public sector alike.
The event will be moderated by Dr. Keegan McBride from the Oxford Internet Institute
