Overview

Democratization of information and broad interconnectivity has had broad range of positive transformative impacts on society – through social networks, individuals can stay connected and share information, medical professionals can reach patients, rapid updates on emergency can be readily available, and access to news and scholarly publications both from consumer and producer perspective has significantly increased. Concurrently, there is an increasing rise in manipulation of information leading to the rise of spread of disinformation in broad range of media modalities including text, imagery, and video. This roundtable will bring together computer scientists along with experts from disciplines potentially to include electrical engineering, psychology, marketing, information science, and political science to discuss challenges in detecting and countering misinformation. This is a first step towards our goal of laying out a research agenda around this topic with a goal of the Computing Community Consortium focusing on specifying the computer science and computer science led components of that agenda through follow up workshops.
