Ep.6 - Decoding COVID-19 Conspiracies with King's College London
Talking Insights
This week Srikar speaks to Dr Daniel Allington, senior lecturer in Social and Cultural Artificial Intelligence, and author of a fascinating study conducted by King’s College London looking at how belief in COVID-19 conspiracies is shaped by social media usage. Together they explore what actually makes a conspiracy, how COVID became such fertile ground for mistruths, what role social media is playing in exposing people to these fringe ideas, and where we go from here.
