Abstract

This panel will bring a timely and overdue discussion to SBP-BRiMS on computational social and behavioral modeling for social good. What’s more, we will host a discussion on what it means to critically approach social good in a way that moves beyond discussions of bias and representation. During this panel, panelists will introduce themselves and positions on topics related to social good within computational behavioral and social modeling, and (along with audience members) proceed to discuss sub-topics, queries, and provocations. Chris Dancy will moderate the discussion and ensure an opportunity for interactive experience for all of those in attendance.
