Mis(ing) Information Workshop 5: Technological/AI/Informatic prespectives

The Mis(sing) Information project, which is funded by the Riksbankens Jubileumfond explores how selective information—through omission or emphasis—shapes public understanding and challenges trust. With digital technologies accelerating information spread, this project focuses on the effects within education, examining how such skewed narratives impact critical thinking and democratic values. By integrating insights from multiple disciplines, the project seeks to address the educational and legal challenges posed by Mis(sing) Information, supporting accurate knowledge dissemination and democratic engagement.

During 8 online workshops we will explore different perspectives on the concept of Mis(sing) Information, for the purpose to build collaborative networks, groups and research proposals. The 9-10th of December 2025 Örebro University will host an interdisciplinary conference on the topic.

You are invited to submit an abstract (maximum 1 page) to attend on the conference to magnus.kristoffersson@oru.se not later than 31st of August 2025. If your abstract is accepted you be invited to hold a presentation during the conference, and travel and accommodation will be paid by the Mis(sing) Information consortium.

In the fifth workshop in the Mis(sing) Information series, the focus will be on technological and AI perspectives. This workshop examines how AI-driven automation and algorithms influence both the dissemination and reliability of information.
