🤖 ERC-funded Milena Tsvetkova @LSEnews studies how human-bot form complex social systems in digital spaces. She sees the #DSA as a key step for transparency & trust, tackling fake content without banning automation entirely. Full story in #ERCMagazine 🔗 link.europa.eu/FTYyPY


🤖 Do algorithms trap us in echo chambers? Not quite. In #ERCMagazine, Damian Trilling @damian0604 shows how well-designed recommender systems can actually broaden what we see – and redefines what ‘fairness’ in news algorithms means in the #DSA era. 🔗 link.europa.eu/X7xGh9


🧩 What we see online – and what we never see – is shaped by algorithms. ERC-funded Jana Lasser @UniGraz designs new recommendation models that boost diverse, constructive exchanges instead of rage-bait and hateful content. More in #ERCMagazine 🔗 link.europa.eu/nGqGRf #DSA
