GES 508 Presentation: Misinformation, Disinformation, and Responsible Innovation
Zoom Only | Final GES Colloquium of the year! How Responsible Innovation may provide a roadmap for grappling with mis- and disinformation in the context of stakeholder engagement.
Note: Recording of this presentation will be unavailable until the research is published.
Alongside ubiquitous calls for increasing engagement across stakeholder groups, we also see a rise in mis- and disinformation that shapes stakeholders’ perceptions of emerging technologies. How do we grapple with the tension of being sufficiently inclusive in an information landscape so heavily influenced by mis- and disinformation? Here, we use contemporary biotechnology use cases — biotechnology policy changes in West Africa, human germline editing, and mRNA COVID vaccines — to explore how Responsible Innovation both prompts the question and provides possible solutions.
Presenters:
Jordan Birkner, Janet Brock, Alexia Cash, Madison Horgan, Bhavana Morankar, Sebastian Reyes-Roza, and Slyvia Tetteh are all students in GES 508: Emerging Technologies & Society. The presenters are a combination of GES minor fellows and other students who work in emerging technology and society research spaces.
The Genetic Engineering and Society (GES) Colloquium is a seminar series that brings in speakers to present and stimulate discussion on a variety of topics related to existing and proposed biotechnologies and their place within broader societal changes.
GES Colloquium is jointly taught by Drs. Katie Barnhill and Nourou Barry, and the seminars serve as a great opportunity for our students to build their networks and grow as professionals. To support their efforts, we encourage you to join our in-person seminars, which will now take place in Biltmore 2006.
Remember, we regularly post colloquium seminars as videos on Panopto and on our GES Lectures podcast, allowing you to revisit or catch up on these recordings at your convenience.
