This second day of the summit allowed us to address some of the questions posed by our opening agenda in more depth. Many of the speakers from the previous day stepped off the stage and took part in smaller breakout sessions, joining an invited audience of researchers, academics, and fellow experts to probe more explicitly into the root causes of misinformation, discuss the ways in which various sectors are impacted, and reflect on the necessary next steps that would most likely to lead to genuine change.

| Deliberative Polling Exercices At this Nobel Prize Summit, we invite you to participate in a citizen deliberation. We will run an exercise in large-scale group deliberation to help develop the capacity to democratically vet policy proposals concerning the information landscape. We will together learn about how to shape such deliberations for our larger societies—and also learn some of the issues around current proposed policies regarding online media platforms. |
