Elizabeth Dubois, Associate Professor at the University of Ottawa, delivered the lecture, “Political bots: Understanding communication strategies using automation and AI,” on February 1 by Zoom. The talk is now available for viewing here.

 

Dubois runs the Pol Comm Tech Lab at the University of Ottawa. Her work examines political uses of digital media including media manipulation, citizen engagement, and artificial intelligence. She hosts the Wonks and War Rooms podcast where political communication theory meets on the ground strategy.
