SUMMARY:Living Freedom Summer School 2023
DESCRIPTION:  \nOur three-day residential school is open to anyone aged 18 to 30 regardless of whether you are based in the UK or beyond. \nAttend to hear talks from experts on the history and philosophy of freedom\, helping us to understand freedom of conscience and free will in the 21st century. With Progress now seen as dangerous\, we’ll debate the implications for freedom\, and explore innovations such as generative technologies and ChatGPT. There will plenty of opportunities to explore complex moral issues such as the case for reparations and the morality of borders\, to revisit classic texts and debate contemporary hot topics from sensitivity readers to the hecklers veto. \nIf you would like to find out more about the Summer School\, and find out how to apply\, you can find all the details on the Summer School page.

SUMMARY:The information wars: who verifies the verifiers?
DESCRIPTION:The recently launched BBC Verify promises to combat the proliferation of fake news and deep-faked images and videos online. We live in the age of the fact-checkers: groups and individuals who take on the responsibility of determining what is true\, what is false\, and what is fake online. With all of the dis-\, mis- and even mal-information\, there are indeed serious challenges to the ideal of a democratised public sphere. But who determines what’s true and false? \nThe Twitter Files revealed how ideology can influence the ‘objective’ verification process and how unaccountable bodies become gate keepers of truth. With shadow banning\, algorithmic manipulation and suppression of sheer opinion\, is the media accountable? Can verification ever be non-partisan? \nThis salon discussion tackles the growing role of fact-checking in the media\, and the implications for freedom of speech\, truth and journalism. Are initiatives like BBC Verify a welcome extension of the watchdog role of journalism\, or do they do more harm than good? Who fact-checks the fact-checkers? \nSPEAKERS\nPoppy Coburn freelance commentator and journalist\nSam Rubinstein history student and writer\nMax Sanderson editor of weekly podcasts\, Guardian \nCHAIR\nFelice Basbøll project assistant\, Ideas Matter \nREGISTER\nThis event is free\, but places are limited\, so please book via Eventbrite. \nBACKGROUND\nExplaining the ‘how’ – the launch of BBC Verify\nDeborah Turness\, 22 May\, BBC News \n‘Fundamentally dangerous’: reversal of social media guardrails could prove disastrous for 2024 elections\nKari Paul\, 10 Jun\, Guardian \nThe BBC isn’t exposing disinformation.
