LWVME-LWVAK: Let's Talk About Digital Threats to Democracy - 3 PM MT
The League of Women Voters of Maine and of Alaska invite you to a discussion of digital threats free online. What are Algorithms? Are They Undermining Our Free Will?
Computer algorithms are manipulating us all the time, whether we know it or not. They determine what social media content and search results we see. They may impact our buying decisions, and they may also push us toward disinformation and conspiracy theories. Join us for a conversation with Cathy O’Neil, a leading expert on algorithms and the CEO of ORCAA, an algorithmic auditing company. She is the author of "Weapons of Math Destruction: How Big Data Increases Inequality and Threatens Democracy".
Free online. All League members are invited.
