Networked Silences: Algorithms and meaning-making in times of climate change 12 October 13:00 to 13 October 13:00 Welcome to a symposium and workshop co-organised by AI Lund and Mistra Environmental Communication and dedicated to understanding the networked silences created by algorithmic platforms. Social media, search engines, recommender systems, and generative AI technologies contribute not only to making things known, but also to obscuring them, to situating sustainable practices outside cultural norms, and to creating ignorance and doubt about legitimate environmental concerns.
