Global Infomatics Seminar
Section Info:
Global Infomatics Seminar: Narrative AI, Propaganda & Election Interference: In this humanities-informed social science course, we will explore the global interrelationships between information technologies and political, social and cultural processes. As we investigate the historical and sociocultural background of AI-driven election interference across national borders, we pay particular attention to the relationship between Russia (including the former Soviet Union) and the U.S. and EU nations. Topics to be addressed include Cold War era research into suggestibility, and psychological manipulation, the development of narrative Artificial Intelligence technologies, and the deployment of chatbots as the engine for propaganda campaigns, the targeted manipulation of social media, and election interference.

Not intended for Undergrad - Urbana-Champaign.
