Workshop_in_brief
The online information environment enables the global exchange of information and ideas, but it also contributes to the proliferation of disinformation. Online platforms operate at a scale where human-based content moderation to counter disinformation is impractical or at least very expensive and where purely technical solutions are challenging because content is often context-dependent. The speed, scale, and complexity of this ecosystem suggests that solutions are needed that consider the global nature of disinformation and effectively blend technical and human capabilities.
On April 10 and 11, 2024, an ad hoc committee under the auspices of the National Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine's Committee on Science, Technology, and Law convened a virtual workshop to consider practicable solutions to counter online disinformation, particularly in social media. This publication summarizes the presentation and discussion of the workshop.
