In December 2023, Vian Bakir (Professor in Journalism & Political Communication) participated as an expert in lecture on The Future of AI 鈥� Dream or a Nightmare? - in a 6 minute disinformation and AI section for The Royal Institution's Christmas Lectures on The Truth about AI, in conversation with University of Oxford's Prof. Mike Woolridge. This was livecast with a studio audience of teenagers and watched by their parents in and production team in adjoining rooms. It was broadcasted on BBC4 on 28th December 2023(8pm), and is freely available on iplayer for UK audiences. For international audiences, this is freely available on The Royal Institution's Youtube channel (which has 1.56M subscribers): https://www.rigb.org/christmas-lectures/watch-2023-christmas-lectures (Vian鈥檚 bit is from 20.17 minutes 鈥� 26.30).
With 2024 dubbed the year of elections worldwide, Vian was asked to reflect on what she saw as the key issue with disinformation, AI and politics. She also advised the production team on wider disinformation and deepfake issues presented in the lecture. She then participated in online chats with UK-wide Schools as part of the I'm a Scientist, Get me out of here - follow on expert interactions with schools and children across the country, across Jan 2024 where she answered questions about AI and about being an expert. (The aim is to inspire children to want to become a scientist, and to improve public knowledge of science.)

Gweithgaredd: Cymryd rhan mewn cynhadledd Academaidd (Prif siaradwr/siaradwr mewn sesiwn lawn)False information proliferates online, despite years of multi-stakeholder efforts to quell it. In September 2022, Vian Bakir (Prof. of Journalism & PolComms, SHiLSS) and Andrew McStay (Prof. of Digital Life, SHiLSS) were invited by the UK Parliament鈥檚 Online Harms and Disinformation Sub-Committee to provide evidence to their Inquiry into Misinformation and Trusted Voices. They addressed one of the Inquiry鈥檚 questions: namely: Is the provision of authoritative information responsive enough to meet the challenge of misinformation that is spread on social media? Now published, one of their conclusions is that rather than having to make difficult content moderation decisions about what is true and false on the fly and at scale, it may be better to ensure that digital platforms鈥� algorithms optimise emotions for social good rather than just for the platform and its advertisers鈥� profit. What this social good optimisation would look like is worthy of further study, but they posit that this would likely involve dialling down the platform鈥檚 emotional contagion, and engagement, of users.

These organisations brought together experts from both sides of the Atlantic to share ideas, knowledge and experience. This will inform a joint call from the US and UK research councils that will fund a series of international and interdisciplinary projects that can better inform policy, improve public trust, and have positive societal impact. Bakir contributed ideas on Understanding Trust from her edited book with David Barlow, Communication in the Age of Suspicion: Trust and the Media (2007). She contributed ideas on Manipulating Trust from her forthcoming book with Andrew McStay, Optimising Emotions, Incubating Falsehood (in press 2022).

Based on our synthesis of research from academia, investigative journalism and regulatory and political inquiries, we find:
- Extensive use of deception and emotion in campaigning for the 2016 鈥楤rexit鈥� referendum.
- Techniques for targeting citizens with emotive and deceptive information have intensified in terms of granularity of targeting; and remain hidden from the view of the wider community or nation.
- False messages prompt reactions of fear, disgust and surprise, and have a propensity towards recirculation online.
To address this, we recommend:
- That there be incentives for digital political campaigners to act ethically, and for their behaviour to be critically and regularly reflected upon by society.
- Specifically, we recommend the institution of publicly available self-evaluations by all political campaign groups post-elections to: Summarise which audiences were targeted, and with what success; Reflect upon which aspects of the campaign most succeeded in mobilising voters (e.g. specific adverts, messages, themes, memes); Reflect upon whether the campaign gave voters enough information with which to make an informed choice on which to base their electoral decision (i.e. was information true, complete, undistorted and relevant?); Reflect upon to what extent the campaign was civil.
- We further recommend that this self-reporting be incentivised via: An independent panel (of diverse stakeholders, including fact-checkers, academics, and campaigners from opposing sides) to verify, and critically comment upon, the self-evaluations; A kite-mark system to brand the veracity and civility of the campaigning; Ensuring that this is covered by the media, post-election, and that the analysis is available online in a public archive.

The UK Parliament's Digital, Culture, Media and Sport Committee launched the Reality TV inquiry in May 2019 following events leading up to the decision to axe The Jeremy Kyle Show. It is considering the duty of care offered by broadcasters and programme makers to participants of reality TV shows.听
The Network for Media & Persuasive Communication submitted written evidence focusing on DCMS' question:听What is the future for reality TV of this kind? How does it听accord with our understanding of, and evolving attitudes to, mental health?
The submission听offers听a cautionary note on a likely future of听reality听media -听where听the media industry听makes use of data听about emotions听to听add new layers of engagement听through听鈥渆motional AI鈥�.听This听emotional AI听entails听affective computing and AI techniques听that听read and react to emotions through text, voice, computer vision and biometric sensing.听While听usage of听emotional AI听has scope to enhance experience of media,听there is scope听for abuse听when competing for audience attention, engagement听and advertising revenue.
The submission recommends that:
- Regulators and policymakers are suitably aware of media and technological trends described in this document: namely,听the potential dangers of a media environment in which emotion is quantified and utilised by the media industry.
-听Media companies and home technology providers understand that regulators and policymakers are aware of these developments and are willing听to regulate if听there is听misuse,or听if听individual, collective or technological vulnerabilities (such as lack of awareness of 鈥渃onsent鈥� to domestic profiling)听are exploited.
-听There听is听further engagement with academics and other specialists on these questions.

I advanced its agenda and discussion with a critical question on what Theresa May, the cabinet and UK intelligence agencies knew during the Brexit campaign about dark money and dark data being used by the Leave campaign. The event concluded that our democracy was under grave attack by dark money, dark data and deception, and that urgent reform was needed of our Electoral Law.

To date this has involved consultation on: a) public and political engagement (eg formulating petitions, signing open letters); b) participating in focus group to provide knowledge of intelligence agencies鈥� media and PR strategies to counter negative press coverage and pressure from the security state (eg regarding CAGE鈥檚 public comments on 鈥楯ihadi John鈥� having been turned violent by MI5). I am the un-named academic in the Emwazi External Review document (2015) c) advising on reports and research that informs critique of public policy regarding Prevent and Channel ( am named as a reviewer in The Science of Pre-Crime (2016).) Cage contacted me to explain that they needed independent academic evaluation of a report they had written on the secret research base underpinning Channel鈥檚 ERG22+ (extremist risk guidelines). I evaluated their report, and associated academic articles on which it was based, and wrote a piece for Open Democracy about the problems with secret research that informs policy, drawing parallels with the Bush era detention and interrogation programme. I also signed the open letter to the Guardian calling for the secret research base to be made public.

Disgrifiad
Our 2-year Seminar Series will explore, from multi-disciplinary/end user perspectives, how different aspects of transparency (whether voluntarily entered into, or state/commercially/peer-imposed) affect questions of privacy, security, sur/sous/veillance and trust. These areas have been chosen, as transparency violates privacy; is argued as necessary for security; indiscriminately mass surveills; and both demands and compromises trust.
To explore these topics, we will draw on perspectives from Journalism, Media, Sociology, Criminology, Law, Politics, International Relations, Intelligence, Business, History, Computer Science and Philosophy, and on end users from media, journalism, law, governing bodies, regulators, NGOs, business and security.
