I was invited by the Mizuho India Japan Study Centre (MIJSC) at the Indian Institute of Management, Bangalore to discuss “How Might AI Reshape Society? Global Case Studies including Indian & Japanese Experiences” along with Prof. Kentaro Toyama. The format was that of an online webinar and it was part of the Centre’s Meijin-Samvad (Expert-Conservation) series. The session was moderated by Mr. Saideep Rathnam, COO of MIJSC.

We delved into the nuances of AI technology, exploring its distinctive characteristics as well as similarities to other emerging technologies we’ve witnessed in the past. We also pondered its potential implications on trust, creativity, education, and the future job market, fostering a rich dialogue. The recording is now available for viewing on YouTube.

I was recently invited by Prof. Emese Domahidi (TU Ilmenau) to appear on the What is it about computational communication science podcast to talk about the power of platforms. We (Emese, Mario Haim, and myself) talked about the increasingly pervasive role that digital platforms play in mediating our access to information and news, the importance of social media metrics, audience fragmentation, and the need for a global perspective in answering these questions. It was a fun 45 minute conversation, but in the end we were left with more questions than answers. Read more
