    Social Media, Artificial Intelligence and Technology Development: A Social Justice Perspective

    Our panel symposium focuses on the scholarly challenges of studying social media analytics, artificial intelligence (AI), and technology development using a social justice perspective. Employing an interdisciplinary perspective, our panelists will foreground the complex ways technological development, social media, and AI can disempower people, in turn, perpetuating social injustice.
