Episode 15 - July 29th, 2020 - Cambridge Analytics

It’s been said that personal data is the new oil. Just a few years ago, companies like Cambridge Analytica bought user data from social media companies to create hyper-targeted political ads. Cambridge Analytica isn’t around anymore, but the practice is still with us, it’s evolved, and poses a real challenge to democracies around the world. In this episode, Heather Freeman interviews: Dr. Douglas Guilbeault Assistant Professor in the Management of Organizations, University of California - Berkeley; Dr. Srijan Kumar Assistant Professor, School of Computational Science and Engineering at the Georgia Institute of Technology; Dr. David Rand, Associate Professor of Management Science and Brain and Cognitive Sciences at MIT; Dr. Samira Shaikh Assistant Professor in Computer Science at the  University of North Carolina at Charlotte; Dr. Tim Weninger Associate Professor in Computer Science at the University of Notre Dame; and Dr. Samuel Woolley Assistant Professor of Journalism at the University of Austin at Texas.
