Workshop<\/h3>\n

Wednesday, 20 May 2020 – 9:30 to 17:00<\/h3>\n

Executive Business Centre<\/a>, Bournemouth University<\/h4>\n

Within today\u2019s information societies, we can identify a number of \u2018informational interests\u2019 as a basis for claiming certain rights and denouncing certain wrongs. On the one hand, such rights may express an interest in the accessibility, integrity, accuracy and authenticity of public information and any related informational system; and on the other, they pronounce an interest in controlling access to and the use of personal and private information. At the same time, we also denounce various acts as informational wrongs, sometimes expressing a personal or private interest (such as when we condemn a fraudulent statement or a breach of confidence) but at other times drawing on a deeper sense of the public interest (as when we condemn fake news, \u2018deep fakes\u2019, and the like that compromise the information ecosystem).<\/p>\n

Paradoxically, in our information societies, it has never been so easy to be \u2018informed\u2019, never so difficult to be confident that we are truly \u2018informed\u2019, and never so unclear whether we are acting on a basis that is informed or misinformed. This workshop aims to engage with these issues, with a specific focus on informational ecosystems and with contributions from a wide range of stakeholders.<\/p>\n
