• Advising Legiscraft in Brazil

  Vian liaised with Legiscraft - a legislative innovation lab based in Brazil, founded and led by parliamentary advisors, and composed of researchers, legal experts, and public policy practitioners, working closely with the Legislative Assembly of the State of Rio Grande do Sul. They wanted to know Vian’s views on democratic oversight of intelligence activities, with a particular focus on preventing abuse and ensuring accountability in the use of surveillance and investigative technologies. As part of this work, Legiscraft are developing a state-of-the-art panel on the legislation, institutions, and practices of intelligence oversight in the UK to help inform a draft bill to regulate intelligence oversight mechanisms in Brazil. Vian was able to point them to key insights from her book, Intelligence Elites and Public Accountability (Routledge 2018) and her open access journal article on Political-Intelligence elites, strategic political communication and the press.

• BBC/Royal Institution Christmas Lectures 2023 on AI

  In December 2023, Vian Bakir (Professor in Journalism & Political Communication) participated as an expert in lecture on The Future of AI – Dream or a Nightmare? - in a 6 minute disinformation and AI section for The Royal Institution's Christmas Lectures on The Truth about AI, in conversation with University of Oxford's Prof. Mike Woolridge. This was livecast with a studio audience of teenagers and watched by their parents in and production team in adjoining rooms. It was broadcasted on BBC4 on 28th December 2023(8pm), and is freely available on iplayer for UK audiences. For international audiences, this is freely available on The Royal Institution's Youtube channel (which has 1.56M subscribers): https://www.rigb.org/christmas-lectures/watch-2023-christmas-lectures (Vian’s bit is from 20.17 minutes – 26.30).

  With 2024 dubbed the year of elections worldwide, Vian was asked to reflect on what she saw as the key issue with disinformation, AI and politics. She also advised the production team on wider disinformation and deepfake issues presented in the lecture. She then participated in online chats with UK-wide Schools as part of the I'm a Scientist, Get me out of here - follow on expert interactions with schools and children across the country, across Jan 2024 where she answered questions about AI and about being an expert. (The aim is to inspire children to want to become a scientist, and to improve public knowledge of science.)

• 'Addressing false information online via provision of authoritative information: Why dialling down emotion is part of the answer', Submission to UK Parliament Online Harms and Disinformation Sub-Committee Inquiry into Misinformation and Trusted Voices, September 2022

  False information proliferates online, despite years of multi-stakeholder efforts to quell it. In September 2022, Vian Bakir (Prof. of Journalism & PolComms, SHiLSS) and Andrew McStay (Prof. of Digital Life, SHiLSS) were invited by the UK Parliament’s Online Harms and Disinformation Sub-Committee to provide evidence to their Inquiry into Misinformation and Trusted Voices. They addressed one of the Inquiry’s questions: namely: Is the provision of authoritative information responsive enough to meet the challenge of misinformation that is spread on social media? Now published, one of their conclusions is that rather than having to make difficult content moderation decisions about what is true and false on the fly and at scale, it may be better to ensure that digital platforms’ algorithms optimise emotions for social good rather than just for the platform and its advertisers’ profit. What this social good optimisation would look like is worthy of further study, but they posit that this would likely involve dialling down the platform’s emotional contagion, and engagement, of users.

These organisations brought together experts from both sides of the Atlantic to share ideas, knowledge and experience. This will inform a joint call from the US and UK research councils that will fund a series of international and interdisciplinary projects that can better inform policy, improve public trust, and have positive societal impact. Bakir contributed ideas on Understanding Trust from her edited book with David Barlow, Communication in the Age of Suspicion: Trust and the Media (2007). She contributed ideas on Manipulating Trust from her forthcoming book with Andrew McStay, Optimising Emotions, Incubating Falsehood (in press 2022).

  Evidence and recommendations published in the report, Digital Technology and the Resurrection of Trust, published by the House of Lords Select Committee on Democracy and Digital Technologies.

  To prevent further harm, our evidence recommends greater transparency of digital campaigns, better media literacy for voters, and self-reflection by political campaigners on things like the informativeness and civility of their own campaign.

  Building on such evidence, the House of Lords’ report makes an urgent case for reform of electoral law as well as our overwhelming need to become a digitally literate society.

• CULTURE CHANGE: Incentivise political campaigners to run civil and informative election campaigns

  Based on our synthesis of research from academia, investigative journalism and regulatory and political inquiries, we find:

  - Extensive use of deception and emotion in campaigning for the 2016 ‘Brexit’ referendum.

  - Techniques for targeting citizens with emotive and deceptive information have intensified in terms of granularity of targeting; and remain hidden from the view of the wider community or nation.

  - False messages prompt reactions of fear, disgust and surprise, and have a propensity towards recirculation online.

  To address this, we recommend:

  - That there be incentives for digital political campaigners to act ethically, and for their behaviour to be critically and regularly reflected upon by society.

  - Specifically, we recommend the institution of publicly available self-evaluations by all political campaign groups post-elections to: Summarise which audiences were targeted, and with what success; Reflect upon which aspects of the campaign most succeeded in mobilising voters (e.g. specific adverts, messages, themes, memes); Reflect upon whether the campaign gave voters enough information with which to make an informed choice on which to base their electoral decision (i.e. was information true, complete, undistorted and relevant?); Reflect upon to what extent the campaign was civil.

  - We further recommend that this self-reporting be incentivised via: An independent panel (of diverse stakeholders, including fact-checkers, academics, and campaigners from opposing sides) to verify, and critically comment upon, the self-evaluations; A kite-mark system to brand the veracity and civility of the campaigning; Ensuring that this is covered by the media, post-election, and that the analysis is available online in a public archive.

  This 50-page guide is designed to help journalists in the UK and Ireland protect their sources and data in the current era of surveillance and hacking of data. Such protection is vital in order to enable whistle-blowing and investigative reporting, but is increasingly under threat given the UK’s Investigatory Powers Act [2016] and surveillance by the police. Our full guide is hosted on the NUJ’s website (members only).

• Parliamentary submission: Datafied Bearbaiting and Emotional AI: Anticipating the Quantified Jeremy Kyle Show. Submission to DCMS Committee Inquiry into Reality TV

  The UK Parliament's Digital, Culture, Media and Sport Committee launched the Reality TV inquiry in May 2019 following events leading up to the decision to axe The Jeremy Kyle Show. It is considering the duty of care offered by broadcasters and programme makers to participants of reality TV shows. 

  The Network for Media & Persuasive Communication submitted written evidence focusing on DCMS' question: What is the future for reality TV of this kind? How does it accord with our understanding of, and evolving attitudes to, mental health?

  The submission offers a cautionary note on a likely future of reality media - where the media industry makes use of data about emotions to add new layers of engagement through “emotional AI”. This emotional AI entails affective computing and AI techniques that read and react to emotions through text, voice, computer vision and biometric sensing. While usage of emotional AI has scope to enhance experience of media, there is scope for abuse when competing for audience attention, engagement and advertising revenue.

  The submission recommends that:

  - Regulators and policymakers are suitably aware of media and technological trends described in this document: namely, the potential dangers of a media environment in which emotion is quantified and utilised by the media industry.

  - Media companies and home technology providers understand that regulators and policymakers are aware of these developments and are willing to regulate if there is misuse,or if individual, collective or technological vulnerabilities (such as lack of awareness of “consent” to domestic profiling) are exploited.

  - There is further engagement with academics and other specialists on these questions.

• Has our democracy become the wild west?

  I was invited to attend this event - which was attended by approx. 45 people, including Amber Rudd MP, mainstream journalists, law lords, regulators and NGOs. I advanced its agenda and discussion with a critical question on what Theresa May, the cabinet and UK intelligence agencies knew during the Brexit campaign about dark money and dark data being used by the Leave campaign. The event concluded that our democracy was under grave attack by dark money, dark data and deception, and that urgent reform was needed of our Electoral Law.

• external consultant for CAGE

  Arising from my work in intelligence agencies, the press, and politics, I act as external consultant for CAGE – a UK advocacy group for the rights of Bush-era torture-intelligence detainees in the War on Terror. To date this has involved consultation on: a) public and political engagement (eg formulating petitions, signing open letters); b) participating in focus group to provide knowledge of intelligence agencies’ media and PR strategies to counter negative press coverage and pressure from the security state (eg regarding CAGE’s public comments on ‘Jihadi John’ having been turned violent by MI5). I am the un-named academic in the Emwazi External Review document (2015) c) advising on reports and research that informs critique of public policy regarding Prevent and Channel ( am named as a reviewer in The Science of Pre-Crime (2016).) Cage contacted me to explain that they needed independent academic evaluation of a report they had written on the secret research base underpinning Channel’s ERG22+ (extremist risk guidelines). I evaluated their report, and associated academic articles on which it was based, and wrote a piece for Open Democracy about the problems with secret research that informs policy, drawing parallels with the Bush era detention and interrogation programme. I also signed the open letter to the Guardian calling for the secret research base to be made public.

  Disgrifiad

  Our 2-year Seminar Series will explore, from multi-disciplinary/end user perspectives, how different aspects of transparency (whether voluntarily entered into, or state/commercially/peer-imposed) affect questions of privacy, security, sur/sous/veillance and trust. These areas have been chosen, as transparency violates privacy; is argued as necessary for security; indiscriminately mass surveills; and both demands and compromises trust.

  To explore these topics, we will draw on perspectives from Journalism, Media, Sociology, Criminology, Law, Politics, International Relations, Intelligence, Business, History, Computer Science and Philosophy, and on end users from media, journalism, law, governing bodies, regulators, NGOs, business and security.
