Fake News, Disinformation, and automated Propaganda

at the Cosmos Club, 2121 Massachusetts Ave NW, Washington D.C.
Are Russian, Chinese, and populist propaganda and fake news really threatening democracy? Are social bots and artificial intelligence changing the public discourse? What is the current state of scientific research on computational propaganda? How will opinion building and rational discourse be possible in the future? How can political parties, the institutions of representative government, and civil society be resilient against machine-driven manipulations?
These and other questions will be discussed by:
Nico Lange, Director, Konrad-Adenauer-Stiftung USA
Aljoscha Burchardt, Researcher at the Language Technology Lab, German Research Center for Artificial Intelligence
Geysha Gonzalez, Associate Director for the Eurasia Center, Atlantic Council
Andree Thieltges, Social Media Forensics Expert, Researcher for Political Data Science, Technical University Munich
Dinner will be provided.
