Tomo Kihara is building a YouTube recommendation simulator, which reveals how different people see different realities on the video platform.

Carrie Wang (instagram.com/carrie_re7l/) is building an AI HR recruiter, which reveals how AI uses facial and speech recognition to make assumptions about us in professional settings.

@xrw is building a playbook for outsmarting automated censors. And also a distributed, offline archive for content that is censored and removed from the web.

@PollicyOrg and @NeemaIyer are building a choose-your-own-adventure game that simulates how retweets, comments, and other digital actions can sow misinformation across the African continent.

@stephlepp is creating a series of educational deepfakes to address the issue *of* deepfakes. They use synthetic media to spotlight the dangers of that very same content.

@hburgund is using the 1969 moon landing to explore the topic of modern misinformation.
