Exploring Bad Bots

On Wednesday 22 March at 5pm CET a live discussion will take place on the topic of ‘Bad Bots’. Topics include: Misuse of Social Bots and Ethics of Influencing Discourse. Online participation is possible. During the session learnings will be shared about the ongoing project. In this session representatives of OBA, iYYU Infra and Digital Rights House will have an open discussion about the rise of chat bots. This session aims to provide insight on the project and gather new inspiration for the project.

The use of chatbots is becoming more and more unavoidable and convenience is increasing, there is a large gap between what is expected of a digital citizen in terms of presumed knowledge and ability, and what, in many cases, their actual self-sufficiency is.

The dialogue on the use of (chat) bots needs to grow. There is a convenience / privacy discussion. Are we in control of the data we share with or via bots? Is it transparent how the bot works, how it is developed and what it does with the data we share? MozFest is the ideal platform to bring the dialogue further!
