Delighted to announce a new book! THE NEED TO RENAME TECH is about words that fool us into thinking that digital technologies are benign and consequence-free. They are not. It was a joy to work with our contributors who propose an alternative vocabulary, drawing attention to harms. lnkd.in/eCXag3cC

Please read and share: the Potsdam Call on Autonomous Weapon Systems (potsdamcall.dgdg.blog) We risk losing the principle that only humans—not machines—should make life-and-death decisions. The call urges prevention of a future where machines are authorised to kill without human judgment.

About those echo chambers and filter bubbles... Systematic review finds no clear cut evidence. It depends on the methods, too much research relies on the US, and specific platforms. And science needs better data to truly assess this, fx via the Digital Services Act link.springer.com/article/10.1...

Policy responses to misinformation & disinformation in the Global South suffer from a biased evidence base – from research largely carried out in the Global North. @robinmansell.bsky.social takes stock of the problem & considers what can be done: blogs.lse.ac.uk/medialse/202...

The WEF singled out mis- and disinformation as its #1 global risk in its 2025 report – ranked above extreme weather events or armed conflicts. But how is this risk dealt with outside the Global North? @robinmansell.bsky.social investigates: blogs.lse.ac.uk/inequalities...

We must tackle the Western bias of disinformation research

To respond to the problems around misinformation, disinformation and the use of AI, policymakers in the Global South must overcome biases in the evidence base

Although the publication of this report was the conclusion of a long process, it is also the beginning of a new phase for the Observatory. In coming weeks, the team will be working with its partners to host a series of discussions, starting next week in Berlin with @hiigberlin.bsky.social.
