Description

Pulitzer Prize-winning tech journalist John Markoff chats with 2022-23 CASBS fellow Nathan Matias about often-overlooked public interest questions and concerns regarding the deployment of tech platform algorithms and AI models. Specifically, Matias is a player in filling the two-way knowledge gaps between civil society and tech firms with an eye on governance, safety, accountability, and advancing the science — including the social science — of human-algorithm behavior. Nathan Matias: Cornell University faculty page | CASBS bio | Personal website |Citizens & Technology LabCoalition for Independent Technology ResearchSelect Matias publications"Humans and Algorithms Work Together — So Study Them Together" Nature (2023)"Impact Assessment of Human-Algorithm Feedback Loops" Just Tech, SSRC (2022)"The Tragedy of the Digital Commons" The Atlantic (2015)"To Hold Tech Accountable, Look to Public Health" Wired (2023)Link to more Nathan Matias public writing | Matias on Medium | on LinkedIn |------Read John Markoff's latest book, Whole Earth: The Many Lives of Stewart Brand (Penguin Random House, 2022)

Conversations about projects and research undertaken by scholars at the Center for Advanced Study in the Behavioral Sciences (CASBS) at Stanford University. Hosted by former New York Times journalist and current CASBS research affiliate John Markoff. CASBS brings together great minds to generate new knowledge to address wicked problems and significant societal challenges. It is a place where diverse thinkers collectively produce transformative outcomes that none could produce independently. A place where boundaries and assumptions are challenged in order to advance our understanding of human beliefs, behaviors, interactions, and institutions. A place that is human centered.
