Changes at "A bullshit-free Internet: strategies against disinformation"

Carl T. Bergstrom is a professor of biology at the University of Washington and co-author of the book Calling Bullshit, which addresses modern techniques of disinformation. Detecting hoaxes in the data age is increasingly complex as they take on the language of mathematics, science and statistics. To ensure that the future of the Internet is free of bullshit, it is necessary to recover the art of skepticism and critical thinking. Therefore, Carl will talk in this session together with
- Pablo Aragón, research scientist on knowledge integrity at the Wikimedia Foundation,
- Luce Prignano, researcher at Universitat de Barcelona and expert in data science against disinformation with the Heurística project,
moderated by the journalist and researcher Nereida Carrillo, promoter of the Learn to Check project.
