Listen now to our latest episode of Let's Talk Risk: open.spotify.com/episode/5EjF...

Dr. McComas: "If we just look at the bot, we're not looking at the larger system...We need to think of the audience and how they themselves can become critical discerners of information."

Dr. Balog-Way: "We might have an outdated definition of messenger."

Audience Q: "Are bots controlled by people messengers or are only the controlling people the messengers? If someone uses bots where LLMs are generating content, is the “message” the prompt used by the person seeding the bot or is the account generating the message based on the prompt the messenger?

It is important to nurture interdisciplinary communication-based approaches, as they provide the strongest point of departure for interpreting, contextualizing, and addressing serious challenges posed by misinformation.

Katherine McComas: "Resist oversimplifying communication"

Unpacking the Risk of Misinformation: A Communication‐Based Critique A raft of authors argue that society is drowning in a sea of misinformation, disinformation, and fake news. Some claim we are living in a new world disorder, misinformation age, or post-truth era, fu...

Todays webinar is tied to a recent study published in the journal Risk Analysis: onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/...

"Telling the truth is not enough"

Fixating on bad actors risks:

1. Overstating their role and influence
2. Overlooking more ambiguous subtle and context dependent dynamics
3. Anchoring us on extreme examples like Qanon, drinking bleach, and flat earth theories

Webinar starts in just a few minutes!! Going beyond fake news, a communication-driven approach to addressing misinformation. #Webinar #Misinformation #Risk
