Professor Taha Yasseri will be exploring the dual nature of openness in online platforms in an exciting guest seminar at IFISC (Institute for Cross-Disciplinary Physics and Complex Systems). He will examine how these platforms can foster collaboration and consensus, yet also amplify misinformation and polarization.
Drawing on empirical research from Wikipedia and social media, this seminar will delve into the mechanisms that make open systems succeed or fail, and discuss the promise of hybrid human–machine approaches for healthier online ecosystems.
