The TaSC project conducts research, develops methods, and facilitates workshops for journalists, policy makers, technologists, and civil society organizations on how to detect, document, and debunk media manipulation and disinformation campaigns.
Research Initiative
Public Interest Technology
From social media to robots to algorithms that drive everything from policing to housing policy, technology is not a neutral machine. Technological biases and negative externalities have deep effects on society and individuals. The field of public interest technology aims to train leaders and technologists about how technology works, its real and potential pitfalls, and ways to build better technology that serves the public interest. Through research and engagement with students, journalists, and policy makers, the Shorenstein Center’s public interest technology initiative is one of the leaders in this new and growing field.
